You may have missed this bit of space news over the weekend, what with the Ted Cruz show and all.
Orbital Sciences Corp. and NASA celebrated the successful rendezvous of the unmanned Cygnus cargo spacecraft with the International Space Center.
Orbital Sciences launched Cygnus with its Antares rocket Sept. 18 from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. (Same place the frog was launched earlier. See photo.) The Antares engines were tested here at Stennis Space Center.
