Great, positive, article on KickSat Sprites over at the BBC - these are femtosats (read “very small”!) with very limited sensors on board but went “crowd collecting” their data can add up to more than the sum of their parts. What I like about this is that it piggy-backed on a SpaceX resupply mission - technologies using one another to achieve new things using off-the-shelf components on wafer thin margins. Great stuff!
