Lancering Orbital ATK
Thursday, Dec. 3: Launch of Orbital ATK Resupply Mission to Space Station, 5:55 p.m. EST (NASA TV Coverage Starts at 4:30 p.m.)
Here are a few photos from this morning’s rollout of the United Launch Alliance Atlas V carrying Orbital ATK’s Cygnus cargo spacecraft. The rocket and spacecraft were moved to the pad at Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station adjacent to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The spacecraft has been named Deke Slayton in honor of the late Mercury astronaut and commercial spaceflight pioneer. Rollout photo credits: NASA/ Kim Shiflett. Photo of S.S.

Lancering is uitgesteld wegens slechte weersomstandigheden. Vandaag poging 2, al vermoed ik dat ook deze poging zal worden uitgesteld, wederom wegens het weer (70% kans dat het niet doorgaat, maar we wachten rustig af).

New Launch Time: Saturday, 5:10 p.m. EST
The launch team is resetting for a liftoff tomorrow – Saturday, Dec. 5 – at 5:10 p.m. EST. Our coverage here and on NASA TV will begin at 4 p.m. The weather forecast currently calls for a 30 percent chance of acceptable conditions at launch time. The Atlas V rocket and Cygnus spacecraft will remain at the launch pad as the pair is configured for liftoff tomorrow to begin the cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station.

Launch Moves to Sunday: Forecast 40 Percent ‘Go’
The launch of Orbital ATK’s Cygnus cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station has moved to Sunday at 4:44 p.m. EST, the start of a 30-minute launch window for the uncrewed spacecraft to begin it mission. Countdown and launch coverage will begin here on the NASA Blog and on NASA TV at 3:45 p.m.
Saturday’s attempt was called off because of high winds that were expected to violate launch criteria throughout the 30-minute launch window. The weather forecast for Sunday improved to a 40 percent chance of acceptable conditions at launch time.
