Abstract:
A report in the Peoples Daily gets the wrong end of the rather greasy stick when it comes to defining 'nano' by assuming that nano satellites are based on nanotechnology. They have a point of you take the viewpoint that some companies are pushing, that all microelectronics and chemistry is in fact nanotechnology and therefore eligible for a slice of the ever expanding nanotechnology budgets, but that’s not what nanotechnology satellites are all about.
