Mission details:

• PPOD-A carried Aerocube 2 for the Aerospace Corp (El Segundo, Calif.); CSTB 1, the CubeSat TestBed for Boeing IDS/Advanced Systems (Huntington Beach, Calif.); and the Cal Poly CP4 cubesat, which is a backup for the CP2 lost in last year's Dnepr failure.
• AeroCube-2 was successfully launched on April 17, 2007, but failed almost immediately after launch - however, not before testing and confirming the utility of a new ground station in El Segundo, CA and taking the first ever picture of another CubeSat in space.
