And on Board the rocket art-объект of a special polymer film to be tightly Packed in a rectangular container. The container will shoot at the desired height will be revealed, and he will straighten out the "air ball" from the mirror film.

Orbital Reflector will become the first satellite in the world, made exclusively to please the eye. Other utilitarian task he will not. Art-спутник will be launched into low orbit to make it easier to see. But-за that he will stay in space for long. The height is enough for 2 months rotation, after which the world's first art-спутник will burn up in the atmosphere.
