There is another rocket set to launch from Wallops in Virginia today. The Antares rocket will launch carrying the Cygnus spacecraft, which, if all goes according to plan, will dock with the International Space Station in a resupply mission. This will be the second private company to resupply the ISS (the competing SpaceX Dragon has completed two resupply missions to the ISS so far). The launch is scheduled for 10:50 a.m. EDT. It's a clear day out, so if you are on the east coast you might be able to see it with your own eyes. Universe Today has a nice writeup of where and when to look to try to see it.Wednesday, September 18, 2013
