Now, just days from launch, they are confident the shoebox-sized satellite Dellingr will live up to its name and inaugurate a new era for scientists wanting to use small, highly reliable satellites to carry out important, and in some cases, never-before-tried science. Dellingr will study how the ionosphere, a region in Earth\u2019s upper atmosphere, interacts with the Sun. Before launch, Dellingr is required to visit to the Magnetic Test Facility at NASA Goddard to test the spacecraft\u2019s magnetometers &#8211; key instruments for measuring the direction and strength of the magnetic fields that surround Earth. The spacecraft is scheduled to launch this August aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station where it will be deployed later into a low-Earth orbit.<\/p>\n<p>Music credit: \u2018Cycle of Life\u2019 by Philippe Lhommet [SACEM] from Killer Tracks&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Video credit: NASA&#8217;s Goddard Space Flight Center\/Joy Ng<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 5px;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASA scientists and engineers named their new CubeSat after the mythological Norse god of the dawn.
