A Dec. 2 brief­ing was held at the Kennedy Space Cen­ter to dis­cuss prepa­ra­tions for the sup­ply mis­sion of Orbital ATK’s enhanced Cygnus space­craft to the Inter­na­tion­al Space Sta­tion. The Cygnus is sched­uled to launch Dec. 3 from Cape Canaver­al Air Force Sta­tion in Flori­da to deliv­er more than 7,000 pounds of sci­ence and research, crew sup­plies and vehi­cle hard­ware to the orbital lab­o­ra­to­ry. This is Orbital ATK’s fourth con­tract­ed mis­sion to the sta­tion under the agency’s Com­mer­cial Resup­ply Ser­vices contract.
