HARP 🌈🛰 is on the @Space_Station now!

[NASA Earth Science Technology Office @NASAESTO]

A tiny satellite seeking clouds ☁️ and aerosols is now on @ISS_Research after launching from @NASA_Wallops on Nov. 2! The HARP CubeSat plans to leave the space station and start its own orbit early in 2020. https://t.co/xluHQvlSKd

[NASA Earth Science Technology Office @NASAESTO]

And the HARP #CubeSat is officially on its way to the @ISS_Research!! Our understanding of clouds ☁️ and aerosols is about to get a lot deeper 🌈 #nasasocial #rocketlaunch

[NASA @NASA]

LIFTOFF! @northropgrumman’s #Antares rocket launched from @NASA_Wallops at 9:59am ET. Now heading to @Space_Station, the #Cygnus cargo vehicle will deliver about 8,200 pounds of @ISS_Research and cargo. Watch as it continues its journey into space: https://t.co/obe9nO4YkR

The @NorthropGrumman Antares rocket, with #Cygnus onboard, is raised vertical this evening at the @NASA_Wallops launch pad. Launch to the International Space Station is planned for 9:59 a.m. EDT Saturday, Nov. 2. More 📸 https://t.co/ca7yaqoLfY

A little CubeSat 🛰 seeking clouds ☁️ and aerosols is aboard and ready for launch! The Hyper-Angular Rainbow Polarimeter 🌈 (HARP) model is currently in the @NASA_Wallops visitor center 🌎 🚀 @NASASocial

[NASA Wallops @NASAWallops]

Antares and Cygnus spent several hours standing tall on the launch pad for a series of system checks. 🚀🛰️

They're now horizontal so late-load cargo can be packed into Cygnus just before liftoff of @NorthropGrumman's CRS-12 mission.

A new CubeSat will soon launch from @NASA_Wallops to the @ISS_research! This tiny satellite will see rainbows 🌈, measuring clouds ☁️ and particles in the atmosphere to help us better understand air quality, weather and climate change.

On a vinyl racecar track resembling the surface of the #moon, summer interns took turns racing a toaster-sized autonomous car. Their goal? To see whose algorithm could propel the car and stay on the track in the fastest time. https://t.co/Vi85qpZNMW
