Satellites, Girl Scouts and good ole Charlie Brown highlight Orbital Sciences Corporation's second commercial resupply voyage to the International Space Station. Orbital-2 will deliver new scientific investigations to the space station.

With many small, relatively inexpensive satellites deploying from the space station, it may seem like low-Earth orbit is full of these compact cubes conducting research and demonstration missions.

A new fleet of 28 small satellites made by Planet Labs, called Flock 1, is considered the largest single constellation of Earth-imaging satellites ever to launch into space. They began deploying Feb. 11 from the International Space Station.

In its first commercial resupply journey after completion of NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program, the Orbital-1 mission will deliver some very interesting new scientific investigations to the space station.
