<br>
&#8220;[Nanosatellites] open the door to do lots of different things in space,&#8221; says Clyde Space CEO Craig Clark.
<br>
&#8221;Within five years I&#8217;d like to be making 100 nanosatellites a year&#8221;.<br>
<br>
40 percent of CubeSat missions, which are satellites with a one-liter volume, carry Clyde Space hardware. The company has invested over £500,000 of its money into UKube-1, which will be the first satellite entirely assembled by them.
<br>
<br>
&#8220;Craig Clark, the head honcho at Clyde Space, emailed us and said he was a fan of our work,&#8221; says Gibson (according to Clark, iam8bit&#8217;s art adorns the walls of the company&#8217;s offices). When Gibson and White realized that Clark was serious about them doing art
 with the satellite, &#8220;our faces lit up! To design something that&#8217;s going to orbit Earth &#8212; how cool is that?&#8221;<br>
