Nanosatellite Launch System

The Nanosatellite Launch System (NLS) is a series of satellite launch missions launched 2003–2010, coordinated by the Space Flight Laboratory (SFL) of the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS).

NLS has provided low-cost launch services for a number of nanosatellites.[1]

gollark: Not currently. It could be, and it would be a fairly simple way to do it.

gollark: Probably the best approach to avoiding surveillance now would have to involve deliberately polluting facial recognition databases and such with fake pictures of you.

gollark: Just say that any data derived from stuff directly harvested from you is "yours".

gollark: It's easy enough *legally*.
