Cross in Space
Cross in Space [Arthur Blessitt]
The Cross in Space CubeSat was planned as a memorial satellite carrying a miniature wooden cross and a microfiche version of the Bible. The passive satellite was to be orbited as a piggy-back-payload on a Dnepr-1 launch. For reasons unknown, this free flyer was cancelled and the memorial objects were launched instead in a Celestis container on mission Celestis 07, but was lost in a launch failure.
