Launch and mission. GuaraníSat-1 launched to the International Space Station (ISS) through Northrop Grumman's Cygnus NG-15 launch. The S.S. Katherine Johnson Cygnus carrying cargo including GuaraníSat-1 was launched to space via the Antares rocket on 20 February 2021 from Pad 0A of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport in  Virginia, United States. The Cygnus spacecraft made a rendezvous with the ISS two days later, berthing to the Unity module of the space station. The satellite is expected to be deployed into low Earth orbit from the ISS. The satellite's mission involves monitoring the prevalence of the Chagas disease in the Chaco region of Paraguay. The satellite will be operated from Earth stations at the Universidad Nacional de Asunción and the Chaco area.
