JAXA announced NASA's small satellite will deploy from ISS 28th Nov. Preparation for the deployment will be done 26th and 27th.
There is no satellite name info. I guess the satellite may be SpinSat.

Yes, the satellite is SpinSat! It is confirmed on space REF web site. http://spaceref.com/international-space-station/nasa-iss-on-orbit-status-23-...
SpinSat is deployed with Cyclops which is new deployment system developed by NASA. Cyclops could deploy 50-100kg class small satellite using ISS JEM robotic arm. You can find interesting paper on Small Satellite Conference web site. http://digitalcommons.usu.edu/smallsat/2013/all2013/76/
