Space Florida, the state’s spaceport authority and aerospace development organization, and NanoRacks LLC, a designer and manufacturer of microgravity research platforms, say that payloads developed by two of the seven winners of the Space Florida International Space Station (ISS) Research Competition will be launched to the ISS onboard SpaceX CRS-3 (Commercial Resupply Services, Mission 3), from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, now planned for late March. The two NanoLabs holding these payloads will fly inside the SpaceX Dragon capsule being launched on top of a Falcon 9 rocket, version 1.1.
