Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 07-13-2014 12:07 PM collectSPACE <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="+0"><A HREF="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-071314a-orb2-cygnus-launch-janicevoss.html"> SS Janice Voss takes flight: Station-bound spaceship a 'fitting tribute' to astronaut</a></font> [i]Astronaut Janice Voss never flew to the International Space Station. But in her memory, her name is making the trip on a spacecraft christened in her honor. Orbital Sciences launched the SpaceShip Janice Voss on Sunday afternoon (July 13) from a pad at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The unmanned cargo freighter is set to arrive at the space station on Wednesday. "Janice was a friend of many of us, both in the Orbital and NASA communities," said Frank Culbertson, Orbital's vice president and a former NASA astronaut, about Voss, who worked for Orbital as an engineer before flying five times as a NASA space shuttle mission specialist. "We wanted to honor her and her family by naming this spacecraft for [her]. We think it is a fitting tribute to a really fine engineer and outstanding astronaut."[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><iframe width="400" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/KA3RhUsbf20?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center>
