Two small satellites were deployed from the US Air Force MightySat 2 spacecraft Sindri last month. Sindri, which was launched in September last year, is connected to the two 0.25kg (0.5lb) Picosats by 30m (98ft) long tethers in an experiment similar to one that took place in February 2000 from the Opal satellite.
