they go around the earth. these are the first interplanetary outside of the earth's orbit.e purpose was to do the relay. a cool flat antenna, they relate the signals in real time for us. just amazing. a lot of career folks here with a little bit of adult supervision. that is how it was built. they did a fantastic job on marco and it exceeded all of our wildest expectations. it is a great tribute to the whole marco team. you saw them there with the special blackshirts. a fantastic thing. not only did it work for the mission, but it opens up the door for more missions like that. we put other missions on them. it is a whole new door thanks to them. they are much less expensive. gay: so the qubes, they were made with off-the-shelf parts? >> a combination of on the shelf and off-the-shelf parts. we had the radio of course, antennas are little bit new technology. a lot of this is standard stuff to replicate at a lower cost. >> what do you think in terms of other missions carrying their own relays and not having to depend on an orbiter? >> they might carry with relays. they can do
