A Message from the Program Director About the Launch

Posted on July 18, 2019 Written by Gregory Durgin

Hello!

RFTSat is going to launch in less than 1 week! RFTSat will be delivered to the International Space Station (ISS) as cargo aboard a Space-X Falcon 9 rocket. It will be stored on the station for about 1 week and then its dispenser (a spring-loaded box that holds RFTSat) will be bolted to the hatch of a Cygnus resupply vehicle. The Cygnus vehicle will un-dock from the ISS, propoel itself to a higher altitude, and then release RFTSat into orbit. If you are interested, you can live stream the launch of RFTSat on NASA TV. Here is the NASA TV schedule is here is the main NASA TV page for streaming. Details are as follows:
