The other CubeSail
The University of Illinois is developing a solar sail mission also called CubeSail, the precursor of a larger project: "CU Aerospace's CubeSail: CU Aerospace together with the University of Illinois are designing a mission to demonstrate deployment and measure the thrust on a 0:77x260m membrane (around 200m2). This membrane will be deployed from two 1.5U CubeSats that will separate from each other in orbit. It is intended as a first step towards a larger sail concept called UltraSail. This last consists of multiple CubeSail-like structures that extend kilometers long film blades to ultimately form an heliogyro." Sail blades as long as 5 km each: -BatteryIncluded (talk) 14:56, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Proposed Rename
Since the University of Illinois satellite also called CubeSail has launched before this version, which seems to be still in development, even though no results have been released, I propose renaming this article to "CubeSail (Surrey)" to reduce misdirection.
