SkyCube: A Satellite that will launch in Q1 2013

[mwtse]

Orbiting more than 300 miles up on a path highly inclined to the Earth's equator, the satellite will pass over most of the world's inhabited regions. Its balloon will inflate after 90 days, making it brightly visible, but causing its orbit to decay rapidly. The mission will end cleanly, 3 days to 3 weeks after balloon deployment, with a fiery "grand finale" that avoids buildup of space debris.

May be we can see the balloon.

拍天文照時要多拍幾張，然後疊加時用Median或Sigma Clip，就可以把這些人造光害除掉

只是不知道為什麼，每次拍星系時，這些太空垃圾都會剛好穿過目標正中心
