STRaND-1: Launched 2013

 At the heart of the satellite was a Google Nexus One smartphone with an Android operating system which the STRaND team hoped to use for some of the satellite's in-orbit operations thereby testing the capabilities of a number of standard smartphone components for a space environment.   

STRaND-1 also flew innovative new technologies such as a WARP DRiVE (Water Alcohol Resistojet Propulsion Deorbit Re-entry Velocity Experiment), and electric Pulsed Plasma Thrusters (PPTs); both firsts to fly on a nanosatellite. It is also flying a 3D printed part - believed to be the first to fly in space! 

Due to issues with the antenna, communications with STRaND-1 have been patchy and it has not been possible to switch on the smartphone onboard the satellite for long enough to use it for satellite operations.
