This is the second PCM transported to the Wallops Island, VA launch site. At the NASA Wallops Flight Facility, the PCM will be loaded with cargo and mated to the Cygnus Service Module (SM). The first PCM, to be utilized in the Commercial Orbital Transportation System (COTS) demonstration mission was loaded mated to its Cygnus Service Module earlier this year.</div></BLOCKQUOTE> <center><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/orbital_crs01_wffarrival01.jpg" width="400" height="298" border="0"></center>
