Atlas V launches Cygnus OA-6

3/22/16 ~ 11:05 p.m.

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket launches the Orbital Sciences Cygnus module on its fifth resupply flight to
the ISS, known as OA-6 (OA-5 is now the sixth mission and will mark the return of the Antares rocket at Wallops
Island, Virginia later this year). The mission came as a result of the failed launch of an Antares rocket in 2014
at Wallops.
