Antares Rocket Launches Successfully Sunday
The third time was a charm for the Antares rocket, which launched without a hitch on Sunday at 5 p.m.
The Antares rocket blasted into orbit Sunday evening after two failed launch attempts last week.
Wednesday's launch was scrubbed due to technical reasons and high winds kept the rocket grounded again on Sunday. However, the wind cooperated and all systems were a go on Sunday, and the Antares took off at 5 p.m. from NASA Wallops Flight Facility on coastal Virginia.
The commercial rocket, was launched as part of a mission to resupply the International Space Station. Watch Sunday's launch as recorded by NASA in the attached video.
