SpaceX’s 27th cargo resupply mission (CRS-27) to the International Space Station is scheduled to lift off at 8:30 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, March 14 (0030 UTC March 15), from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
CRS-27 will carry supplies, equipment for our international crew, and science, including Space Station hardware designed by high school students, and research that could help fight heart disease.
Additionally, a pair of small satellites, called CubeSats, will hitch a ride to space on the mission. The two university-built satellites, named ARKSAT‑1, created by students at the University of Arkansas, and LightCube, by Arizona State University with Vega Space Systems and Mexico’s CETYS Universidad. ARKSAT‑1 will illuminate an LED from orbit and use a ground spectrometer to track and perform atmospheric measurements. LightCube features a flash bulb that can be controlled remotely by amateur radio operators on Earth who will be able to activate the satellite to produce a brief flash visible from the ground.
