The CubeSat pico-satellite platform(see www. cubesat. org) developed by California Polytechnic State University and Stanford University in 1999 had been widely accepted by the small-satellite community.
It had organized the First International African CubeSat Workshop, which was to be held from 30 September to 2 October 2011 and would focus on the benefits and business opportunities related to small satellites.
Once in low Earth orbit at an altitude of about 350 miles(575 kilometers), the CubeSat opens and releases the sculpture, which self-inflates like a balloon.
Currently, thousands of people were working on CubeSat-based satellites, establishing a lively developer community and a growing marketplace for CubeSat components and technologies.
Many of these new projects, including Orbital Display's ads, Orbital Reflector, and Elysium Space, are tiny satellites called CubeSats- 10-centimeter cubes that weigh up to 20 pounds.
