A glimpse of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket on its way to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Space Launch Complex 41 is caught through the trees. The rocket will boost an enhanced Orbital ATK Cygnus spacecraft on a resupply mission to the International Space Station. Science payloads aboard the Cygnus include a new life science facility that will support studies on cell cultures, bacteria, and other microorganisms. Also aboard is a microsatellite deployer and the first NanoRacks microsatellite to be deployed from the space station.
