On June 7 at Wallops Flight Facility, in Virginia, NASA and Orbital ATK
hosted members of the media to see the Cygnus cargo spacecraft scheduled
to fly the company’s next delivery mission to the International Space
Station. The mission – the company’s fifth to the space station under
its Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA – is planned for
launch in July. Cygnus will launch atop Orbital ATK’s Antares rocket
from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport’s Pad 0-A at Wallops. It will
be the first time Antares and Pad 0-A have been used for a launch since a
launch mishap in 2014. Also, Entering the Station’s New Space, All
