Gallery: Antares rocket explodes

Residents along the U.S. East Coast from South Carolina to Massachusetts could glimpse Orbital ATK’s Antares rocket climbing into space Monday night on a cargo run to the International Space Station.

Watch a replay of the launch Monday of an Orbital ATK Antares rocket carrying a commercial cargo craft destined for the International Space Station.

With one last task to carry out, a space station Cygnus cargo ship loaded with trash and no-longer-needed equipment fell back to Earth Wednesday, hitting the discernible atmosphere 60 miles or so above the Pacific Ocean at nearly 5 miles per second.
