The launch is due just before ten in the evening London time (UTC+1). The following schedule shows the rough timings in UTC:


''To ensure the highest possible level of mission assurance and allow additional time to resolve remaining open items, SpaceX is now targeting March 30th for the CRS-3 launch, with April 2nd as a back-up. These represent the earliest available launch opportunities given existing schedules, and are currently pending approval with the Range.''
* 20:58 Falcon 9 launch
 
* 21:01 Falcon 9 upper stage separation

''All times are UTC.''
HackSat deployment from KickSat is scheduled for 08:57 (09:57 BST) on '''<strike>Tuesday 1st April</strike>'''. We won't be able to receive any signals from HackSat until after this deployment. The long delay in this deployment is at the request of Nasa to avoid interfering with ISS operations.


Our satellite is contained with the bigger KickSat. 128 sprites are loaded into it. It has the names of contributors engraved on it, including "London Hackspace". You can see a [http://zacinaction.github.io/kicksat/engraving_photos/KickSat_minusY_Zoom2.jpg photo of the actual KickSat], complete with our engraving (we're on the bottom row, 4th from the right).
