The first Orbital Sciences Antares rocket, attached to a transporter/erector system, made the one-mile trip from its hangar to launch pad 0A at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Saturday.

The 133-foot rocket is gearing up for a test launch from the Virginia space base as soon as April 17. The Antares rocket is one-half of Orbital's commercial resupply system for the International Space Station.
