Abstract
US scientists have developed what they claim is the world's first satelite the size of a loaf of bread which is designed specifically to look for extra terrestrial life. The nano-satellite, called the Exoplanetsat, will be launched next year with the task of finding exooplanets beyond our solar system having life-supporting environment like the Earth. The $3 million device measures 10cm wide and 30cm long.
