Wallops re-launch successful

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. – After the re-supply launch from Nasa Wallops Space Center was postponed, a successful re-launch was executed Monday morning at 5:32 a.m.

The Northrop Grumman Cynus re-supply spacecraft is on its way to the International Space Station with more than 8,200 pounds of science investigations and cargo. The mission is said to support dozens of the more than 250 investigators which include bio-printing tissues, plants adapting to space, mud-flow mixtures, ovarian cell development in micro-gravity, and the first satellites from Uganda.

The spacecraft will remain at the Space Station until January before it disposes of several thousand pounds of trash through its destructive re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere.
