Estonia's first satellite, the ESTCube‑1 technology demonstrator, was also released into orbit. Orbital will provide its LEOStar-2 spacecraft platform and conduct systems integration and test for the Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) mission at its Dulles, VA satellite design and production facilities.
