A year after a rocket failure claimed its last space station-bound resupply ship, Orbital ATK’s Cygnus freighter returned to flight on Sunday (Dec. 6), launching atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The cargo freighter, named the S.S. Deke Slayton II after the Mercury astronaut, is delivering 7,700 pounds of science equipment and crew supplies, the Cygnus’ largest payload to date.
