NASA will launch a constellation of eight little satellites to low-Earth orbit on board an Orbital ATK Pegasus XL rocket from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 8:24 a.m. EST on Monday. The launch of the satellites, which comprise the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS), is part of NASA's increasing focus on small satellites and would help improve hurricane intensity forecasts.
