Nice short followup on those CubeSats that accompanied the recent Mars lander.

"The basic CubeSat unit is a box roughly 4 inches (10 centimeters) square. Larger CubeSats are multiples of that unit. MarCO's design is a six-unit CubeSat - about the size of a briefcase -- with a stowed size of about 14.4 inches (36.6 centimeters) by 9.5 inches (24.3 centimeters) by 4.6 inches (11.8 centimeters)."
Being a bit pedantic, wouldn't that be a CubiodSat? :-)
