Orbital ATK Launch Live Stream: Watch The International Space Station Resupply Spacecraft Lift Off

Two years after an anomaly caused one of its rockets to explode just seconds after liftoff, the American spaceflight company Orbital ATK is ready to launch another cargo resupply vehicle to the International Space Station. At 8:03 p.m. EDT on Sunday, an Antares rocket carrying a fully-stocked Cygnus spacecraft will lift off from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in eastern Virginia. "After being launched into low-Earth orbit, the Cygnus spacecraft will use its advanced maneuvering capability to transport the cargo from a low parking orbit to the space station, where it will be grappled by the crew using the station's robotic arm and berthed to the space station," the company explained in a statement released Saturday. "After the cargo is removed and disposal items are loaded, Cygnus will depart from the station in mid-November." Among the payloads the Cygnus spacecraft is carrying is an experiment named Spacecraft Fire Experiment-II, or Saffire-II.
