CubeSats fly free after leaving the NanoRacks CubeSat Deployer on the International Space Station. Seen here aretwo LEMUR-2 satellites. The NanoRacks-LEMUR-2 satellites are part of a remote sensing satellite constellation that provides global ship tracking and weather monitoring. About 90 percent of global trade is shipped by sea, but tracking of oceangoing ships is inefficient; many ships are unmonitored as they transit the world’s oceans, far from land and out of range of ground-based beacons.
