Improved weather predictions from new mini-satellites

[John Teller]

Orbital built one of those satellites, and delivered the rest as kits, 
and the Taiwanese bolted them together.  Sort of like your multi-million 
dollar Heathkit.  The bus is the same technology as the ORBCOMM 
satellites, just with different payloads.  BTW - I wrote a bunch of the 
flight software.
