UK CubeSat Forum - Lunar opportunity

Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) and Goonhilly Earth Station (GES)
are looking for CubeSat passenger payloads on a Lunar mission.

SSTL and GES are teaming up with ESA to create the worlds first commercial
deep space mission. They plan to carry customer payload in the form of
CubeSats into lunar orbit and provide the relay link back to Earth via
Goonhilly. The launch is planned for 2019.

Orbital passengers e.g. nanosatellites and CubeSats will be deployed from
the Mothership and will operate in lunar orbit.

The UK CubeSat Forum can help in creating new contacts for joint proposals,
so do post on their site should you want to be involved!
