Photos: Atlas 5 rocket aims for International Space Station

Poised to embark on a 7-year adventure to Asteroid Bennu and back, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx sample return spacecraft was moved to the launch pad today aboard its Atlas 5 rocket for liftoff Thursday evening.

The next Atlas 5 rocket launch from Cape Canaveral will be delayed two weeks to resolve an undisclosed issue with the payload, United Launch Alliance officials announced Friday.

The Russian Soyuz MS-02 spacecraft carrying two cosmonauts and an American astronaut successfully docks to the International Space Station after a two-day trek from Earth.
