A United #Launch Alliance #Atlas V #rocket carrying a #Cygnus cargo ship to the International Space Station.
After an #Antares rocket exploded shortly after lightoff, Orbital-ATK purchased launch services from #ULA for their cargo #spacecraft, and then another.
This mission, OA-7, was the first flight of the improved Cygnus. Each vehicle is named, and the #OA7 mission was named “SS John Glenn.”

After a #launch “mishap,” #Orbital #ATK bought a #ULA #Atlas V launch to carry their #Cygnus #COTS #spacecraft to deliver supplies to the International #Space Station.
The United Launch Alliance’s #AtlasV #rocket’s first stage under-performed, but the #Centaur upper stage was able to deliver the vehicle into the correct orbit.
Here, a #shock cone forms around the nose of the Atlas V as it passes through #clouds.

A United Launch Alliance #Atlas V #rocket sits on #pad LC-41, waiting to launch a communications #satellite for #NASA. The Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System allows NASA to maintain near-constant contact with its Earth-orbiting #spacecraft, including the Space Shuttle and International Space Station, and Antarctica, as well as #LaunchVehicles during ascent.
The Mobile Launch Platform’s umbilical towers obscure the brightly-lit rocket.
The satellited being launched is #TDRS-K, renamed TDRS-11 once operational.

A #ULA #AtlasV 4-meter fairing, hand-painted with the #NASA logo, the #RBSP program logo, the #UnitedStatesFlag, and the #AtlasProgram #logo. The 4-meter fairing provides less volume for payloads than the 5 meter version, but weighs less.
After launch, the Radiation Belt Storm Probes were renamed the Van Allen Probes once in orbit, and continue to study the Van Allen Belts and Earth’s magnetosphere.
