## Caption

A United States flag is flown at half-staff just outside the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport Pad-0A with the Orbital Sciences Corporation Antares rocket, Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2013, NASA Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia. President Obama directed Monday that flags be lowered to half-staff to pay tribute to the victims of "the senseless acts of violence" perpetrated at the Washington Navy Yard. NASA's commercial space partner, Orbital Sciences Corporation, is targeting a Sept. 18 launch for its demonstration cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station between 10:50 and 11:05 a.m. EDT. The demonstration flight to the International Space Station will deliver about 1,300 pounds of cargo, including food and clothing, to the Expedition 37 crew.
