A set of NanoRacks CubeSats after deployment by the NanoRacks Launcher
February 26, 2014 - A set of NanoRacks CubeSats after deployment by the NanoRacks Launcher attached to the end of the Japanese robotic arm. The CubeSats program contains a variety of experiments such as Earth observations and advanced electronics testing. International Space Station solar array panels are at left. Earths horizon and the blackness of space provide the backdrop for the scene. CubeSats are a class of research spacecraft called nanosatellites and have small, standardized sizes to reduce costs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set of NanoRacks CubeSats floating gracefully in the vastness of space. Taken on February 26,2014, these nanosatellites were deployed by the remarkable NanoRacks Launcher attached to the end of the Japanese robotic arm aboard the International Space Station. The CubeSats program represents a diverse range of experiments, including Earth observations and advanced electronics testing. The image captures the CubeSats against a backdrop that beautifully contrasts Earth's horizon with the infinite blackness of space. On the left side, we can see solar array panels from the International Space Station, adding to the awe-inspiring scene. CubeSats are part of an innovative class of research spacecraft known as nanosatellites. Designed with standardized sizes to reduce costs, they play a crucial role in advancing our understanding and exploration beyond our planet's boundaries. In this photograph taken from outer space, we witness their delicate presence amidst an orbiting curve around Earth. The vibrant blue hue envelops everything in sight while highlighting humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery. This extraordinary snapshot is a testament to human ingenuity and scientific progress as we continue pushing boundaries and expanding our reach into outer realms through satellite technology.
