KickSat: Send Tiny DIY Satellites Into Space

Earth+SpritesGround Control to Major You: for a mere $300 you, too, can send a satellite into space. How? Well, a young man from Ithaca, New York (it's gorges) is planning on sending a box of tiny, self-contained, solar-powered radio transmitters into space - about 300 in all - and watch them as they transmit from near orbit. Like a murder of tiny space crows, the Sprite satellites will peep out their location and - for $300, your initials - as they circle the planet.
