Antares Vehicle Rolls out to Pad (WFF-2022-005-002)
A Northrop Grumman Antares rocket carrying a Cygnus resupply spacecraft is seen as it is rolled out of the Horizontal Integration Facility on its way to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport’s Pad-0A, Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2022, at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Northrop Grumman’s 17th contracted cargo resupply mission with NASA to the International Space Station will deliver about 8,300 pounds of science and research, crew supplies and vehicle hardware to the orbital laboratory and its crew. Northrop Grumman named the NG CRS-17 Cygnus spacecraft after Piers Sellers in honor of the late NASA astronaut who spent nearly 35 days across three missions helping to construct the space station. Launch is scheduled for 12:40 p.m. EST, Saturday, Feb. 19, 2022. Credit: NASA/Brian Bonsteel
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center enables NASA’s mission through four scientific endeavors: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Solar System Exploration, and Astrophysics. Goddard plays a leading role in NASA’s accomplishments by contributing compelling scientific knowledge to advance the Agency’s mission.
