The perfect holiday present for the space nut that has everything. For only $300 you can get naming and tracking rights or for a $1,000 contribution let’s you write its custom flight code. These postage-stamp-sized satellites can be bulk launched cheaply into space, drifting on solar winds sending signals back to Earth.
