Gordon Fullerton” atop an Antares rocket as part of CRS-1 (NASA classification) or ORB-1 (Orbital Sciences classification). This will be Orbitals second overall flight to the International Space Station (ISS) but this is the first official resupply mission as part of NASA’s Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) initiative. After free-drift the spacecraft will be grappled via the Canada-Arm and berthed to the Harmony Module of the ISS where it will remain for approximately six months before being loaded with waste and released to disintegrate in Earth’s atmosphere.” via @PhotoRepost_app
