And, best of all, the price of the TubeSat kit actually includes the price of a launch into Low-Earth-Orbit on an IOS NEPTUNE 30 launch vehicle. Since the TubeSats are placed into self-decaying orbits 310 kilometers (192 miles) above the Earth&#8217;s surface, they do not contribute to the long-term build-up of orbital debris.<\/p>\n<p>After operating for a few months (the exact length of time on orbit is dependent on solar activity), they will safely re-enter the atmosphere and burn-up. TubeSats are designed to be orbit-friendly. Launches are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2011.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/interorbital.com\/TubeSat_1.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planet Earth has entered the age of the Personal Satellite with the introduction of Interorbital&#8217;s TubeSat Personal Satellite (PS) Kit.
