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.

Thanks to Stennis Business and Technology Digest for the tip.
