Time-lapse video: Falcon 9 positioned for 2nd launch attempt

A replay of the United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket launching the Orbital ATK’s commercial Cygnus cargo freighter to the International Space Station from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Powered by two Russian-made RD-181 main engines, a Northrop Grumman Antares rocket fired into a mostly sunny sky Saturday afternoon over Virginia’s Eastern Shore carrying nearly 7,500 pounds of equipment to the International Space Station.

Engineers erected a commercial Antares rocket vertical on its launch pad on Virginia’s Eastern Shore Friday, positioning the 13-story booster for liftoff Sunday night with more than 5,000 pounds of supplies and experiments for the International Space Station.
