NASA WALLOPS FLIGHT FACILITY, VA – The commercial Antares rocket put on an awesome display of flawless rocketry and fireworks as it thundered aloft under picture prefect skies from the Virginia shore on NASA’s Wallops Island launch base last weekend delivering the Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo craft to orbit Saturday, Nov. 2 and successful arrival at the International Space Station (ISS) two days later on Monday, Nov. 4.
