Experiments and supplies bound for the International Space Station launched on April 11 as part of the agency\u2019s Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services 24 mission.<\/p>\n

As part of the approximately 11,000 pounds cargo that lifted off inside the company\u2019s Cygnus XL spacecraft, NASA\u2019s CubeSat Launch Initiative<\/a> (CSLI) launched six CubeSats built by U.S. educational institutions and non-profit organizations. These CubeSats are Coconut, Harvard Undergraduate CubeSat (HUCSat), Low Earth Orbit Platform for Aerospace Research and Development Satellite 1 (LEOPARDSat-1), and three Pleiades Rapid Orbital Verification Experiment System (PROVES) CubeSats: PROVES \u2013 Alcyone, PROVES \u2013 Atlas, and PROVES \u2013 Electra.<\/p>\n

Each CubeSat is a small satellite that will deploy into orbit from the space station to conduct its experiments. NASA\u2019s Launch Services Program<\/a>, based at the agency\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, manages CSLI and manifested these CubeSats on the mission as part of the Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa) 58 launch grouping.<\/p>\n
