How about a little rocket imagery from GOES-16? Here's the heat signature of the just-launched #Antares rocket carrying the #Cygnus cargo vehicle to the @Space_Station a few minutes ago just off the coast of Virginia.

The Orbital ATK Cygnus Blasts off to Resupply the Station

The Cygnus spacecraft from Orbital ATK blasts off atop the Antares rocket from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

Orbital ATK's Antares rocket carrying the Cygnus cargo spacecraft lifted off at 4:44 a.m. EDT and is on its way to the International Space Station. At the time of launch, the space station was traveling at an altitude of about 250 miles, over the central south Atlantic.

An hour and half after launch, commands will be given to deploy the spacecraft's UltraFlex solar arrays. Launch coverage will resume on NASA TV at http://www.nasa.gov/live at about 5:45 a.m. for solar array deployment, which is expected to last about 30 minutes.

A post-launch news conference will follow and is scheduled to begin on NASA TV at approximately 7:00 a.m.
