I got to talk with Peter Platzer from Nanosatisfi at Techonomy13 in Tucson AZ. He showed me the basic look for a new type of satellite which is already in space. An amazing new look in how we communicate and monitor this - and other planets. 

These cubes are small enough to not be seen by the naked eye, but thousands can be sent up to keep us connected or detect situations we need to be aware of like solar flares. 

When they are done, they disintegrate into the atmosphere. No harmful chemicals so they will not pollute.
