Very cool!

That's the big question, isn't it?  We have a launch contract with
interorbital systems [1].  Our satellite is based on their design of the
tube sat personal satellite kit, but we kind of redesigned the satellite
totally.  Currently we are raising funds for the next step;  that will
be building the satellite.  We have prototypes for almost all systems
components but don't have an assembled satellite so far.

IOS's launch date is still in the future since they are working on their
own launch vehicle.  I guess they also don't know when they will be
ready.  Go check out their website to see how they progress.

I'm not familiar with this type of satellite but will go and check it out.

:)  So far not, but who knows what will happen in the future.
