Antares ORB3 Rocket Readied for Launch to ISS | Raw Video


This video highlights its trek from the Horizontal Integration Facility to the launchpad 0A. Boring for some, but some good background footage of what goes on before you see the launch. The rocket that will carry the Orbital Sciences' Cygnus cargo spacecraft will launch from NASA's Wallop Flight Facility on October 27th, 2014. Monday's Antares rocket launch will mark Orbital Sciences' third official cargo mission to the International Space Station for NASA under a $1.9 billion contract, which calls for a total of eight delivery missions. The mission, called Orb-3, will launch a robotic Cygnus spacecraft - also built by Orbital - that is filled with 5,000 lbs. of food, water, experiments and other gear for the astronauts currently living aboard the space station. The rocket will launch on October 27th 22:45GMT. You can watch the launch live and get more info here NASA footage
