Orbital ATK’s seventh Antares rocket stands ready for launch with a Cygnus supply ship Saturday on a two-day flight to the International Space Station.

Orbital ATK’s Antares rocket returned to flight Oct. 17 with a successful evening launch from Virginia’s Eastern Shore, a beacon visible for hundreds of miles along the U.S. East Coast as the 13-story rocket set course for a cargo delivery to the International Space Station.

Liftoff of the Starlink 10-62 mission from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station happened at 10:47 a.m. EDT (1447 UTC). The rocket flew on a northeasterly trajectory.
