NASA's Fast, Affordable, Science and Technology Satellite, or FASTSAT, has launched from the Kodiak Launch Complex on Kodiak Island, Alaska, and is awaiting separation from the main launch vehicle. Approximately 20 minutes after launch, FASTSAT will separate from the launch vehicle for orbital insertion. Thirty minutes later, FASTSAT will automatically power up to begin initial checkout operations. FASTSAT is carrying six small payloads to low Earth orbit, demonstrating a critical ability to provide low-cost and rapid response opportunities for scientific and technical payloads to get to space.
