− | :These three laser points will effectively point in 3 different random directions, which is not safe for other objects around this Cubesat. It depends on the power of the laser pointers but, in general a laser over 5 mW can heat up and damage things given enough time | + | :These three laser points will effectively point in 3 different random directions, which is not safe for other objects around this Cubesat.
