I'm sure many of you will be familar with the CubeSat project, in fact some of you may well have worked on one. wink.gif

So lets hear it, what would you do with a 10x10x10cm 1kg payload in a CubeSat, beside the obvious like stick a camera in it and photograph your house.

Who knows, perhaps one day we may see the launch of the USF CubeSat tongue.gif

How about a solar telescope? If a little car that drives itself towards a light source can be made as a science fair project, then surely a cubesat that points itself at the sun can be created, right?
