Orbital ATK has rescheduled its launch of one of its Antares rockets for Monday night at 7:40PM from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The rocket will deliver cargo to the International Space Station.

This is the first time in nearly two years Orbital ATK will launch one of its Antares rockets.  On October 28, 2014 an anomaly caused one of the company’s rockets to explode seconds after liftoff.

Viewing conditions across the region will be great. High pressure in control will allow for mostly clear skies. Enjoy!
