NASA To Test Interplanetary CubeSats During 2016 Mars Mission

In March 2016, when an Atlas V rocket carrying NASA’s InSight lander to Mars takes off, it would also be transporting two small satellites known as CubeSats. This will mark the first time these spacecraft, which are about the size of a briefcase, would be flown into deep space, NASA said in a statement released Friday.
