Floating off into space… a set of NanoRacks CubeSats are deployed from International Space Station - The Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (SSOD), in the grasp of the Kibo laboratory robotic arm, is photographed by an Expedition 38 crew member on the space station as it deploys a set of NanoRacks CubeSats. The CubeSats program contains a variety of experiments such as Earth observations and advanced electronics testing. Station solar array panels, Earth’s horizon and the blackness of space provide the backdrop for the scene. Image Credit: NASA #nasa #satellite #space #nasa #iss #spacestation #cubesat #exp38
