[Server-sky] Nanoracks/CASIS tie-up - a flight opportunity for thinsat prototype hardware?

[Michael Turner]

This sounds like an opportunity to demonstrate (in principle, at
least) electrochromic solar sailing for thinsats.

There's a lot that might be done with hosted payloads (and not just at
exposure facilities on ISS) before any kind of free-flying thinsat is
actually fielded.
