Student CubeSats Deployed into Low-Earth Orbit | International Space Station
A pair of CubeSats designed by college students from around the world is deployed into Earth orbit from a small satellite orbital deployer on the outside of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory module. Students from Mexico, Italy, Thailand, Malaysia, and Japan designed the shoe-boxed sized satellites for a series of Earth observations and technology demonstrations.
The Japanese Experiment Module—Kibo—is Japan’s contribution to the International Space Station (ISS). Kibō (meaning 'Hope' in Japanese) is a Japanese science module developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). It is the largest single ISS module, and is attached to the Harmony module.
