Orbital Postpones Orb-2 Launch To Sunday, July 13
Orbital Sciences announced this morning (July 11) that it is postponing the launch of its Orb-2 mission by another day, to Sunday, July 13, at 12:52 pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).
Orbital said that severe weather at the launch site over the past several days has interfered with launch preparations for the Antares rocket, necessitating the delay.
If it launches on Sunday, the arrival of the Cygnus cargo spacecraft will be delayed until Wednesday, July 16, at 6:37 am EDT.
This is the most recent of several delays for the mission.
