MinXSS in the depressurized airlock of the ISS

May 15, 2016

T-16 hours and counting! MinXSS and the other CubeSats are all loaded up and ready to go in the International Space Station. The deployers were mounted to the robotic arm and the airlock sealed and de-pressurized. All that’s left is to open the outer airlock hatch, move the robotic arm out, and throw the switch to deploy the CubeSats!
