Inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility high bay at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Orbital ATK Cygnus pressurized module has been moved into the vertical position on a stand after late stowage operations. The Cygnus spacecraft will carry more than 7,000 pounds of cargo on the next resupply flight to the International Space Station. Cygnus is undergoing prelaunch processing at Kennedy before launch atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 401 rocket scheduled for December 3 from Space Launch Complex 41 at nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
