A Personal Satellite Kit?

Published on 2009-08-02 by Mark VandeWettering

Planet Earth has entered the age of the Personal Satellite with the introduction of Interorbital’s TubeSat Personal Satellite (PS) Kit. The new IOS TubeSat PS Kit is the low-cost alternative to the CubeSat. It has three-quarters of the mass (0.75-kg) and volume of a CubeSat, but still offers plenty of room for most experiments or functions.

The interesting bit? Total cost = $8000, including launch costs. You can use paypal to order one and get a launch slot.

The not so interesting bit? It doesn’t appear that the launch vehicle actually exists.
