Join us on Tuesday, Aug. 10 at 5:30 p.m. EDT (21:30 UTC) for live coverage of the launch of Northrop Grumman's Antares rocket and Cygnus cargo spacecraft.
Liftoff from our Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia is scheduled at 5:56 p.m. EDT (21:56 UTC). This Cygnus is named the S.S. Ellison Onizuka, in honor of the first Asian American astronaut.
