NASA launched
EcAMSat and TechEdSat-6 to the International Space Station on Orbital ATK's Cygnus spacecraft from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on Nov. 12.
EcAMSat - the E. coli Anti-Microbial Satellite - is a small satellite containing a miniature biology lab, developed and constructed at NASA's Ames Research Center, in California's Silicon Valley. EcAMSat is taking E. coli into low-Earth orbit to conduct a
science investigation
aimed at improving astronaut health. To read more about EcAMSat, see:

T
he Technology Educational Satellite, or TechEdSat-6, was released into low-Earth orbit from the NanoRacks platform on Nov. 20, to begin a series of wireless sensor experiments which will be the first self-powered tests, expanding the capabilities of sensor networks for future ascent or re-entry systems. This is the fourth TechEdSat satellite carrying an updated version of the Exo-Brake that will demonstrate guided controlled re-entry of
small spacecraft to safely return science experiments from space. More can be read at:
