Welcome to Innovative Space Logistics, in the Netherlands: they invited me inside their clean room to see an actual CubeSat satellite that’s going into space soon! (No, this isn’t a sponsored video: I paid my own way there!) Go look at their site: http:\/\/isilaunch.com\/<\/a> – and if you need to send something into space, get in touch with them!<\/p>\n

The satellite model I’m holding is holding is the engineering model of FUNcube-1 and the flight satellite that I definitely couldn’t hold is Nayif-1<\/a>, a cooperation between the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre<\/a> and the American University of Sharjah<\/a>.<\/p>\n
