Only just found out about this. A satellite launched by an American

I've tried Googling this newsgroup but it doesn't seem to have been
discussed much here.

Anyone fancy filling in the details. Seems to be quite an exciting

The "Fly your Stuff" page is interesting too.
$295 to send a small item into space. Do they accept international

Try expanding your search to include the other sci.space groups. It has
been discussed a bit.

It's not history yet!
I don't have time to look at other space groups except
alt.satellites.visual-observe, which is almost dead.

You get me and Dr. Fiorella Terenzi up there in that inflatable widget-
