Article appears to be semi-disgused spam about a non-notable miniature satellite. Only references provided are to a company website. - Burpelson AFB ✈ 17:57, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The references look more like an amateur tech competition than a professional company but this is still not notable. De728631 (talk) 18:13, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - The article does have a distinct smell of WP:COI, but it does have the potential to be redeemed - I'll work on it later; this NASA paper may be useable as a ref, and this from ESA also has potential. Also [1], [2], [3], [4]. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:41, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - There is a notability claim that can be made, it just hasn't been presented in the article. Agree with De728631: it is the lack of such a claim being made in the article that puts it at risk. (sdsds - talk) 23:54, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Journal of Space Technology and Science (2000) article from a State Space Agency of Ukraine journal. Subject appears to have multiple coverage in countries like Japan and US. Pmresource (talk) 11:40, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
