In the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, preparations are underway to lift the Orbital ATK CYGNUS pressurized cargo module up from a work stand. The module will be secured on a KAMAG transporter for the trip to the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility. The Orbital ATK CRS-7 commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station is scheduled to launch atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on March 19, 2017. CYGNUS will deliver thousands of pounds of supplies, equipment and scientific research materials to the space station.
