When I visited the website with MCubed-2 information I saw the very nice development from The University of Michigan. Have a look at: Track
You can download this software at: https://github.com/jwcutler/retroTrack
More MCubed-2 information can be found at the website form the University of Michigan.

NROL39 Atlas V GEMSat Launch December 5, 2013
Twelve CubeSats are set to launch aboard an Atlas V rocket with the NROL-39 primary payload from Vandenberg AFB in California on December 5, 2013. The CubeSat payloads have been provided through NASA’s Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa) program and the NRO’s Mission Integration Directorate (MID). The launch window will be announced as it gets closer to launch day. Below is information about each CubeSat including tracking information where available and links to developers’ websites.

The CubeSats are integrated into 8 P-POD deployers which are contained in the NPSCuL built by the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). The NPSCuL together with the 8 P-PODs and 12 CubeSats is referred to as the Government Experimental Multi-Satellite (GEMSat), and is attached to the Centaur upper stage’s Aft Bulkhead Carrier (ABC). The assembled GEMSat is shown in the photo below ready for mate to the launch vehicle along with members of the GEMSat team consisting of NPS, Office of Space Launch (OSL), United Launch Alliance (ULA) and Cal Poly, SLO.

TechEdSat3P Launch.
With all cubesat launches using the Minotaur 1 and the DNEPR rockets one could almost forget the last Cubesat that is launched from the ISS Kibo module. Here a beautiful image from that launch.
As far as I know there is no data received from this satellite. More information can be found at the TechEdSat website.
