Come home satellite into space

 cube

In addition to the satellites created by the various space agencies in different countries, also groups of academics and universities have made ​​their own models and many of these are now in orbit around our planet, but here we have a satellite manufacturing home that has been created by the South Korean Song-Ho Jun in their own home .
This man of 34 years spent about $ 500 to create OPENSAT, a small satellite that weighs 1 kilogram and is shaped like a cube. OPENSAT is the result of an idea flashed through his head while working for a private company that manufactures satellites .
Once the small is in orbit, will be able to transmit data using radio and Morse code by LED lights. What may sound a little ironic that the launch will be thousands of times more expensive than satellite, costing about $ 120 million. Fortunately for Mr. Jun, the company will be responsible for carrying NovaNano into space in December.
