Vlad Sitnikov proposes creating a constellation of 400 miniature satellites, or 'cubesats', to project brand advertisements into the night sky. Despite funding challenges due to the war with Ukraine, he aims to raise $100 million to launch this project within a year. The idea reflects the increasing commercialization of space, where significant brands show tentative interest in advertising. Examples of space advertising already exist, proving its evolution from a science fiction concept to a potential business model.
"Wherever there is commerce, advertising will be there. It's an inevitable step. People get upset about advertising because it's designed to interrupt - that's how it gets our attention."
"He proposes an array, or constellation, of up to 400 'cubesats' - miniature maneuverable satellites - with the ability to project the messaging of any brand willing to pay into the night sky."
