LitSat-1 is one of the two first Lithuanian satellites. It was launched aboard the second Cygnus spacecraft along with 28 Flock-1 CubeSats aboard an Antares 120 carrier rocket flying from Pad 0B at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Wallops Island. The launch was scheduled to occur on December 2013 but later was rescheduled to 9 January 2014. Three Lithuanian words will be broadcast from space Lietuva myli laisvę (Lithuania loves freedom).
