The United Launch Alliance Atlas V first stage that will help launch the Orbital ATK Cygnus pressurized cargo module is offloaded from ULA’s Delta Mariner barge (above) Feb. 5 at Port Canaveral in Florida.
The booster was transported to the Atlas Spaceflight Operations Center (right) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station to prepare for the upcoming launch of the Orbital ATK Commercial Resupply Services OA-6 flight to the International Space Station. The Cygnus module will carry hardware and supplies to the space station. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
