Thanks Dan, here's what Wiki has to say:

I don't recall ever hearing the terms "nanosatellite" and "cubesat" before..

Didn't see it, but according to satellite safari, it's the rocket body for the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. It carried STRaND-1, a satellite powered by a Google Nexus 1 phone. It launched a month ago.
Look up STRaND-1, interesting satellite.
