Lituanica SAT-1 is one of the two first Lithuanian satellites. It was launched along with the second Cygnus spacecraft and 28 Flock-1 CubeSats aboard an Antares 120 carrier rocket flying from Pad 0B at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Wallops Island to the International Space Station.[1] The launch was scheduled to occur on December 2013, but later was rescheduled to 9 January 2014. Three Lithuanian words will be broadcast from space. The launch of the satellites was broadcast live in Lithuania. Satellite launch from the International Space Station to space is planned from February 25 to February 28, 2014 by JAXA astronaut Koichi Wakata
