He&#8217;s going to be using it for cloud computing from space experiments. So cool<\/p>\n<p>And when Naeem told me about the project I mentioned how much I would love to get a samstone in orbit. (There was already one in space.. but not in orbit\u00a0 see http:\/\/samstones.org\/WordPress1\/?p=1827)<br \/>\nWe explored different options but it turns out that the satellites are very space and weight constraint so instead of putting a real Sam stone on it I created an image from a 3-D scan of a real stone and gave it to the manufactures. They etched into the side of one of the struts inside the small satellite.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway.. Naeem was told that the space launch was today. 2 PM specifically\u2026 And then the satellite itself would be deployed around 2:30.
