    I think there are six CubeSats but there could be more. Space-X doesn't 
    seem to be answering questions about them:
    
    1- SMDC-ONE (stands for Operational Nanosatellite Effect) - a store and 
    forward communications satellite for the US Army Space and Missile 
    Command, part of an ongoing experiment to evaluate the use of nanosats 
    in tactical communications (CubeSat size 3U),
    
    2 - CubeSat for the Los Alamos National Laboratory with classified 
    payload, probably for energetic charged particle measurements (size 1U?),
    
    3 - CubeSat for the Los Alamos National Laboratory with classified 
    payload, probably for energetic charged particle measurements (size 1U?),
    
    4 - Colony 1 (#1) CubeSat for the National Reconnaissance Office with 
    classified payload (size 3U),
    
    5 - Colony 1 (#2) CubeSat for the National Reconnaissance Office with 
    classified payload (size 3U),
    
    6 - CAERUS - an amateur radio CubeSat built by the University of 
    Southern California (size 1U).
