Countdown is continuing for today’s scheduled launch of the fourth Orbital ATK commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The
#Cygnus spacecraft is set to lift off on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, carrying more than 7,000 pounds of supplies and science investigations. The chance for favorable weather at the 5:55 p.m. EST liftoff is 30 percent with the primary weather concerns being rain showers, gusty winds, and cumulus clouds. The current weather status is “no go.” If the launch moves to tomorrow, we'll post another shot then!
