NASA, in coordination with United Launch Alliance (ULA) and Orbital ATK, will broadcast the world's first live 360-degree stream of a rocket launch. This stream will begin at approximately 11:00a.m. EDT on April 18th, and will last until the rocket is out of sight. This stream enables you to look around in 360 degrees -as if you were actually standing on the launch pad.

The Orbital ATK CRS-7 resupply mission to the International Space Staion is scheduled to launch during a 30 minute window opening at 11:11a.m. EDT. Orbital ATK's Cygnus spacecraft will launch on a ULA Atlas V rocket carrying more than 7,600 pounds of science research, crew supplies and hardware to the orbiting laboratory.

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V 401 rocket launched Orbital ATK's Cygnus S.S. John Glenn spacecraft from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, on 18 April 2017, at UTC ( EDT). As part of mission OA-7 Space Station Cargo Resupply, the spacecraft carries approximately 3380 kg (7452 lb) of internal cargo and an 83 kg (183 lb) external deployer carrying CubeSats. Orbital ATK dedicated Cygnus spacecraft to John Glenn, one of NASA's original seven astronauts who passed away in December at age 95.

United Launch Alliance Successfully Launches OA-7 under First RapidLaunch™ Service Contract

Orbital ATK's Cygnus spacecraft dedicated to John Glenn rides on Atlas V

Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., (April 18, 2017) – A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket carrying the OA-7 resupply spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS) lifted off from Space Launch Complex-41 April 18 at 11:11a.m. EDT. The OA-7 mission represents the first execution of a RapidLaunch™ service contract, with contractual agreements being finalized 5 months ago.

Спойлер

The mission was flown for Orbital ATK under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services contract and the payload will deliver supplies, equipment and experiments to astronauts aboard the ISS.   

"ULA is excited to be a part of the team that delivered such an important payload to astronauts aboard the ISS," said Gary Wentz, ULA vice president of Human and Commercial Systems. "Not only are we delivering needed supplies as the first launch under our new RapidLaunch™ offering, but we are truly honored to launch a payload dedicated to John Glenn on an Atlas V, helping to signify the gap we plan to fill as we start launching astronauts from American soil again in 2018."

Orbital ATK dedicated the OA-7 Cygnus spacecraft to John Glenn during a ceremony last month. John Glenn became the first U.S. astronaut to orbit the Earth after being launched on a heritage Atlas LV-3B rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida in 1962.

This mission was launched aboard an Atlas V 401 configuration vehicle, which includes a 4-meter extra extended payload fairing (XEPF). The Atlas booster for this mission was powered by the RD AMROSS RD-180 engine, and the Centaur upper stage was powered by the Aerojet Rocketdyne RL10C engine. This is ULA's fourth launch in 2017 and the 119th successful launch since the company was formed in December 2006.

"Congratulations to our mission partners at Orbital ATK and NASA on another successful launch that will help advance our scientific knowledge on Earth and in space, and inspire the next generation of space explorers," said Wentz.

Cygnus is a low-risk design incorporating elements drawn from Orbital ATK and its partners' existing, flight-proven spacecraft technologies. Cygnus consists of a common Service Module (SM) and a Pressurized Cargo Module (PCM). The SM is assembled and tested at Orbital ATK's Dulles, Virginia, satellite manufacturing facility and incorporates systems from Orbital ATK's flight-proven LEOStar™ and GEOStar™ satellite product lines. The PCM is based on the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM), developed and built by Thales Alenia Space of Italy.

ULA's next launch is the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite-M (TDRS) mission for NASA. The launch is scheduled for Aug. 3 from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.

With more than a century of combined heritage, United Launch Alliance is the nation's most experienced and reliable launch service provider. ULA has successfully delivered more than 115 satellites to orbit that aid meteorologists in tracking severe weather, unlock the mysteries of our solar system, provide critical capabilities for troops in the field and enable personal device-based GPS navigation.

 CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION, Fla. -- The U.S. Air Force's 45th Space Wing supported NASA's successful launch of Orbital ATK's Cygnus spacecraft aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 here April 18 at 11:11 a.m. ET.

The Atlas V rocket is carrying Cygnus cargo vessel OA-7, the S.S. John Glenn, on the seventh operational cargo delivery flight to the International Space Station in support of NASA's Commercial Resupply Services program. Cygnus is used to carry crew supplies, spare equipment and scientific experiments to the ISS.

Glenn was sel ected as a Mercury astronaut in April 1959 and became the first American to orbit the Earth in his Friendship 7 capsule on Feb. 20, 1962. His flight helped to define America's position in the space race and paved the way for America's space program, from moon missions, to the space shuttle and the International Space Station. Glenn passed away Dec. 8, 2016.

The Atlas V OA-7 launch was the sixth major launch operation for the Eastern Range this year. Before any spacecraft can launch on the range, a combined team of military, government civilians and contractors fr om across the wing provide the mission assurance to ensure a safe and successful lift-off for range customers.

"John Glenn lived a life filled with firsts and broke barriers throughout his career, just like the tremendous men and women of the 45th Space Wing continue to do here daily," said Brig. Gen. Wayne Monteith, 45th Space Wing commander and Launch Decision Authority for this mission. "I am proud of the integrated Space Coast team who worked together flawlessly to make this launch a success. This mission once again clearly demonstrates the successful collaboration we have with our mission partners at NASA and ULA as we continue to shape the future of America's space operations, and serve as the 'World's Premier Gateway to Space.'"
