Post-launch Status of Supply Mission to the Space Station
NASA,Kennedy Space Center,Orbital ATK,Cygnus,International Space Station,Commercial Resupply
A briefing was held at the Kennedy Space Center to discuss the status of Orbital ATK’s enhanced Cygnus spacecraft, following its launch to the International Space Station. The Cygnus launched Dec. 6 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.

don’t forget will be back on the air on monday at 10:00 am on nasa tv
Congratulations guys #Cygnus is back in space.GO #Cygnus! and see you on #ISS Wednesday morning.
Congratulations to all involved. I watched the launch live (from Scotland), and was glad to see a successful launch.
My fingers are crossed for a successful docking with the ISS on my birthday, which is December 9th. I will be watching, because it’s interesting and progressive. Congratulations once again 🙂
Keep these coming! I do not have NASA TV from my cable provider
Awesome stuff from team Cygnus. I’m sure the guys up there will appreciate the nice treats.
Man has always looked at the stars. Always I wanted to achieve them, and now when it’s feasible and proven, the more we look into the stars, which attracted our subconscious. The universe is waiting for us. Only forward.
what altitude is the apogee and perigee?
What is this where we are launching on Atlas rockets, the same booster that launched John Glenn? It almost seems like our engineering excellence is diminishing. I just read an article in the NYT about the B‑52, in many ways it is still our best (if you can use that word for a death dealing machine) bomber, the newer bombers are seriously flawed. The Russians have good rockets, but also just had a failure and lost an expensive satellite. While we have better electronics today, in many ways it seems like we are stuck, the engineers who made the B‑52 and the Atlas were so awesome that today’s engineers just can’t make the mark. We were supposed to be flying to space the same way you can fly to Hawaii, but instead it still carries a huge risk of disaster and death.
