about 16 Cubesat’s from 9 states selected by NASA to fly from 2015-2017. Our

are one then you already know about the collectable coin celebrating the
European Space Agency and 50 years of space cooperation. They are a limited
edition run from 500 to 10,000 coins depending on denomination. Leland Melvin
announces his retirement and Sawyer shares a quick interview with him from an
event back in July 2012. President and COO of SpaceX, Gwynne Shotwell was
