Researchers at the Technion Institute of Technology who have for years been working on the miniaturization of satellites, plan to build and dispatch for the first time into space a fixed formation of three nano-satellites weighing up to six kilograms each. If the experiment succeeds, these satellites could be applied to locating missing persons or individuals in distress. The project is aimed at proving that it is possible to hold tiny satellites in formation for a year as they pass 600 kilometers above the Earth.
