Space Launch Complex 41 where a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket and Orbital ATK Cygnus spacecraft stand in preparation for liftoff later. Liftoff was rescheduled for Saturday Dec. 5 and the forecast still calls for a 40 percent chance of acceptable conditions. Join us here and on NASA TV for countdown and launch coverage of the mission to deliver scientific gear, equipment, and supplies to the International Space Station.
LIFTOFF!!

The Atlas V has cleared the tower and the S.S. Deke Slayton II Cygnus spacecraft is heading into space loaded with more than 7,000 pounds of science equipment and cargo for the International Space Station!
