This is extremely odd in the fact that this orbital reflector has no commercial, military or scientific purpose. Once in space the Diamond Star will unfold from a cube satellite and will reach 100 feet in length. It will be visible from the surface of the planet.

- 'Space sculpture' will unfurl and inflate in space from a small CubeSat box
- Is made from a mylar-like reflective material and shaped like a diamond
- Sunlight reflects onto the sculpture making it visible from Earth with naked eye
- Will appear as a slowly moving artificial star as bright as a star in the Big Dipper
