NASA: Antares rocket set to lift off Sunday evening

The launch of the antares rocket from Wallops Island in Virginia is planned to take off Sunday Sunday evening.

The rocket launch was set for Friday night, but according to NASA officials, it’s now taking place Sunday evening at 8:03 p.m.

Officials say the updated launch day is still contingent on completion of all remaining pre-launch testing.

This cargo mission will deliver over 5,100 pounds of science, research, and supplies to the orbiting laboratory and its crew.

People all along the east coast will have the chance to catch a glimpse of the antares rocket as it blasts its way to orbit.

This launch will be the first antares launch from wallops since October 2014, when the rocket exploded shortly after liftoff.
