The Antares rocket will carry Orbital’s Cygnus cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station.
The cargo craft will be filled with 2,780 pounds of supplies for the station, including vital science experiments to expand the research capability of the Expedition 38 crew members aboard the orbiting laboratory, crew provisions, spare parts and experiment hardware. Also aboard the flight are 23 student experiments that will involve more than 10,000 students on the ground. These experiments will involve life sciences topics ranging from amoeba reproduction to calcium in the bones to salamanders.

That whole space station is a colossal waste of money.Spend billions so a few can play in space
12:48, you have no clue and until you do, shut up
Oh we have a space cadet on board
You must work at Wallops
Well, 12:48, I guess you don't need calcium for your bones. Maybe you should get off here and use this box to actually learn what has been discovered so far just in medicine alone.
It is tremendously exciting to see all the renewed activity at Wallops over the past couple of years. I hope it only continues to grow. It's a great boost to the Lower Shore economy. If NASA's going to spend our tax dollars anyway, it's great that they're doing it here. And no, I don't work at Wallops.
Too bad it's not a night time launch. It's amazing to see overhead.
