"The basic CubeSat unit is a box roughly 4 inches (10 centimeters) 
square. Larger CubeSats are multiples of that unit. MarCO's design is a 
six-unit CubeSat - about the size of a briefcase -- with a stowed size 
of about 14.4 inches (36.6 centimeters) by 9.5 inches (24.3 centimeters) 
by 4.6 inches (11.8 centimeters)."

Being a bit pedantic, wouldn't that be a CubiodSat? :-)
