The final Antares rocket built with components made in Russia and Ukraine lifted off from Wallops Island, Virginia last night, marking the end of a successful flight program and renewed pressure on Northrop Grumman and Firefly to develop its replacement.
The Antares-230+ rocket is carrying over 8,200 pounds of equipment and science experiments for the astronaut crew on the International Space Station. The mission, NG-19, marks the 19th cargo resupply mission by Nothrop Grumman on behalf of NASA. The Cygnus spacecraft which carries the supplies is expected to arrive at the station early Friday
