Personal Satellite

52 years after Sputnik you can now send your own personal satellite into low earth orbit. You can design your own experiments, track it with a hand held ham radio and its only $8,000. I think it is a great project for science classes to engage students. What would you do with a personal satellite?

Instead of buying that new RV, you could ensure an "A" for your kid on that science project. Hmm...come to think of it...what is the payload? Could you just send your kid into space?
