[amsat-bb] OPUSAT Lithium-Ion Capacitor CubeSat and Flying Laptop satellite

[M5AKA]

The OPUSAT CubeSat, slated for launch in the Japanese Financial Year 2013, is planning to use a Lithium-Ion Capacitor. I think this will be the first time such a device has been flown in space. If successful the greater power density offered could be useful for future CubeSat missions.
