The launch of Cygnus spacecraft carrying the first Lithuanian satellites LitSat-1 and LituanicaSat-1 to the International Space Station (ISS) will be broadcast live by the national television and radio.
It is projected that Lithuanian satellites will leave the ISS for the orbit in February. Then satellite LitSat-1, assembled by Kaunas University of Technology with the assistance of the Lithuanian Space Association, will transmit the three Lithuanian words voted in by the nation.
