From the makers of the Sky Safari app, comes SkyCube:

The 10x10x10cm SkyCube cube will piggy back on a private rocket launch in March 2013.
Hmmm... sounds interesting. For just a few dollars you could send messages and take photos from space.
Just a few days left to buy a spot I think.

Re: SkyCube - send msgs from space and take photos too
I've just become an official "backer" of the project. For US$10, "Sponsors 100 seconds of the mission. You can broadcast ten (10) 120-character messages from space, and request two (2) images from the satellite at any time during the mission. Est. Delivery: Mar 2013"
6 days left to sponsor!
I will request a photo of Singapore/Johor. Haven't decided on the next one. Maybe Java and its volcanoes.
One of the messages would be greetings to SingAstro, wishing all clear skies, plenty of meteors, bright new comets, and no more smoke haze from Indonesia!
