	In addition to the problems already mentioned, there's yet another one. At best this scheme could attach a cubesat to the aerodynamical fairing around the rocket's payload. However the fairing is detached as soon as it's aerodynamically feasible to do so (ie. well below orbital altitude) both to save weight and to prevent the fairing from contributing to the orbital debris problem. So the cubesat wouldn't even get to space, much less to orbit.

 The explanation says the inclusion of the additional cubesat would cause the rocket to fail to reach its desired orbit.  That is ridiculous.  Yes, the unplanned for weight would have an effect, but given the overall weight of the rocket the weight of a single additional cubesat would be close to immaterial.  CERTAINLY well within the safety margins.  This isn't ''The Cold Equations''."
