Shoebox-Sized Space Probes Take to Orbit

Article Abstract:

Technological advancements have led to the production of space satellites that are very small and extremely lightweight. These nanosatelites are relatively inexpensive to make, which fits with the government's attempts to reduce spending in space exploration. NASA hopes to start using the small satellites early in the new millennium.
