Never mind the thousands of TV adverts, internet adverts, billboard adverts and pre-roll video adverts we see every day – soon there could be adverts you CAN’T escape.

A Russian company aims to put banner ads into the sky, with glowing adverts orbiting our planet hundreds of miles up – and visible from Earth.

A video from Russian company StartRocket shows the McDonalds and KFC logos appearing to hover in the night sky.

The Russian company aims to use arrays of cheap CubeSat satellites to display glowing logos and messages in the sky which will be visible for six minutes at a time.




The company’s Orbital Display will be displaying ads by 2021, orbiting between 250 and 310 miles up, a company representative told Futurism.

Alexey Skorupsky of StartRocket said, ‘If you ask about advertising and entertainment in general — haters gonna hate.

‘We are developing a new medium. At the advent of television no one loved ads at all.’
