The world's first space nation officially in orbit with new satellite

Space, the final frontier, is now officially home to Asgardia, the known universe's first "space nation," which  launched its first satellite, Asgardia-1, into orbit on November 12th. Only about the size of a soccer ball, the "nanosat" traveled aboard the OA-8 Antares-Cygnus, a NASA commercial cargo vehicle, to make its two-day journey from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia to the International Space Station.
