Orbital ATK this week shipped the service module for its next space station cargo mission to Florida, where it will be mated to the company’s first Cygnus freighter to be launched on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. Targeted to lift off from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in early December, the mission, designated OA-4, will mark the return to flight for Cygnus after the previous uncrewed craft was destroyed in an October 2014 failure of Orbital ATK’s Antares booster.
