Lithuanian satellite launched to space from India

The satellite was successfully launched shortly after 7 a.m. (Lithuanian time), NanoAvionics said on social media.

The launch is part of the QB50 project aimed at launching a group of small satellites to space to study the lower layers of the thermosphere. Led by the von Karman Institute in Belgium, the project involved scientists from 23 countries and about 50 universities for more than six years, VU said.

QB50 should launch 37 satellites.
