A Space Cargo Ship Takes Flight
Orbital Sciences Corp. sent up their first unmanned cargo spacecraft into space on Wednesday off the coast of Virginia. This was a successful takeoff and it is now up in space. It carried about 1,500 pounds of cargo into orbit but is able to take up to 4,400 pounds of it. The use of sending this rocket was so that the space station could get cargo that they were in need of. This was the second of twelve scheduled flights under a $1.6 billion dollar contract. If you want to see the full article
