Japan and the United Nations Seek To Expand Small Satellite Travel.

According to SpaceDaily.com,The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) agreed to cooperate in providing opportunities to deploy cube satellites (CubeSats) from the Japanese Experiment Module "Kibo" of the International Space Station (ISS). The size and cost of the technology used to make and deploy small satellites continues to expand to countries looking to expand their space programs.

Currently, Jaxa is looking to use the advantages of small satellites throught their Kibo program in order to aid developing countires when it comes to helping them improve the quality of their satellites so that they can improve their small satellite programs so they can be competitive as well. The economy necessary is allowing numerous opportunities for small satellites to take off. Previously we've covered numerous start ups and government programs that are using the economy and size of small satellites to obtain cost efficient means of launching satellites into space. 

Jaxa is looking to publishing information for those interested in expanding their knowledge and opportunities with small satellites soon via their UNOOSA's website. This will allow more opportunities for small satellite deployment as Japan enters the space race and provides opportunities for developing countries to do the same.
