The launch of an Antares rocket and Cygnus spacecraft on a demonstration mission to the International Space Station from Wallops is scheduled for 10:50 a.m. (Eastern) on Wednesday. The spacecraft will deliver about 1,300 pounds (589 kilograms) of cargo, including food and clothing, to the Expedition 37 crew aboard the space station (no mention of pizza...). The Antares/Cygnus is a product of Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va., part of NASA's transition to commercial space products. The launch will be streamed live on NASA TV (and I assume U Stream as well). Launch was postponed from last week because of weather.
