NASA shoots for 200Mbps networks on swarming satellites

Saturday launch will hoist super-manoeuvrable CubeSats that find each other in space

Orbital ATK will on Saturday^* launch a Cygnus spacecraft on a supply mission to the International Space Station, with one of its payloads being a pair of CubeSats that NASA hopes can demonstrate 200 megabits per second downloads, from space, and how small satellites can be operated in harness to build networks or complex machines."
