All We Know About Starrocket’s Space Advertisements Project so Far

You thought you’ve seen all types of advertising right? How about advertising that appears in the night sky then fades away, is this even possible?

Well, that’s the idea from a Russian startup StartRocket that is working on a solution to bring billboard type advertisements to the night sky. Named Orbital Display the advertisements are brought into a low earth orbit using very small satellites called CubeSats.

They are in orbit 280 miles or so above sea level and contain Mylar sauls that span 30 feet or so in diameter. These sails catch and reflect the sun’s light that in turn creates a pixelated matrix. StartRocket aims to use this all-new tech to display a Coca-Cola logo as well as many other brand emblems as a demo, they also state that the solution could be used to display urgent messages from governments during emergencies.
