Launch of Orbital-2 Mission to the International Space Station

- Orbital Sciences Corporation's Antares rocket and Cygnus cargo craft launched from Wallops Flight Facility on the Orbital-2 mission -- the company's second operational resupply mission to the International Space Station, under its Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA. The Cygnus spacecraft, which is carrying almost 3,300 pounds of supplies -- including a host of experiments, is targeted to rendezvous with the ISS on July 16.

Congratulations, Orbital! You've done it again!
I love that private companies are finally going to space. Once their business takes off, we should see rapid developments in spaceflight.
6:13 Software glitch. Nothing much to see since then. Some programmers must be getting yelled at by their manager now. XD
I felt a wave of dread in my gut when I saw the glitch and expected the phone to ring.
I was wondering whether that was supposed to happen... How the hell did they managed to screw that up so badly? Well, I suppose at least the _rocket_ is fine.
Wish there would have been an onboard camera as it launched.
Stage 1 in imperial units, stage 2 in metric. No wonder the animation crashed. :P
I thought I imagined it, I now see on replay that at liftoff the entire rocket shifts a little to the left then a second later catches itself and slides back to the right. It also was slightly misaligned vertically for a moment. There was a brief moment when I thought there was something wrong.
I believe most rockets perform a yaw maneuver right after liftoff that ensures the tail end of the rocket doesn't accidentally strike any tower components. I would assume that's what's going on here.
Frank Culbertson said in the post-launch press brief that it was an intended maneuver to shift the vehicle from the tower. It's only one degree, but for some reason it was a lot more apparent for this launch than it was on the others. Nothing to worry about.
Skip Morrow I read in the NASA media pack it is 240,000 kg mass, I think it is remarkable they can tilt that mass one degree on lift off, doing a very good job :)
Skip Morrow
always better to be directing it some where than to react to an unwanted shift
What really got MY attention was the way the booster swung toward the support structure. I've seen it do that before but not by THAT much.
The guys who got a D in Aeronautical school were in control of the animation.
I was there and enjoyed the hell out of the experience. Kennedy space centre is awesome!
These guys would be amazing at KSP lol
I know! I'm only familiar to these terms because I play ksp!
Yup, I already see they have a Null Reference Exception around 6:25 xD They are well prepared for KSP
NASA PLAYS KSP:
30000000000000000000000000000 days later...
Nasa: Ok now we add a 2nd fuel tank..
Punkletable
haha

Magnificent engineering 00:50
Nice work :)
what a nominal launch
I was out and watching in NJ, but I guess she was lost in the clouds. Maybe next time! I have seen a couple night launches from here in NJ that were amazing.
Great work guys!
Beautiful. I love rockets.
beautiful!
Very impressive!!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
ft/s? I thought NASA had switched to Metric.
at 4:49 it switched to metric.
Faiz Rahman lol, kind of like a: oops, forgot to use metric. Because metric is BETTER.
This launch isnt run by NASA. This is a commercial flight. Everything you are seeing is data from Orbital.
That is true. However, NASA chose to use Metric after failures with having to convert between the two and code thinking it had one system when the values were in another. This would mean that it should now be a de facto standard for spaceflight especially to the ISS, even if it's not the standard in 100% of the countries on Earth.
It would also be hugely inconvenient to have to convert your customer's address into the (space) taxi's different addressing system and then back again for the customer to know you're coming and where you are. (So you don't get an accidental kinetic kill vehicle).
Go Wallops!
Amazing... Yet, it seems so much is still left to be done...
It gets to the ISS on the 16th? I thought they found a way to get things up to the ISS in a few hours.
Muito bom!
Μπράβο στην ομάδα Λ. ;)
Το γραφενιο είναι πολα υποσχόμενο υλικό τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας θα είναι άκρως σημαντικά.
WOW DO YOU SEE THIS LADIES! FLYING VIBRATOR!
Nice
FRom the launch, how long does it take to get into full space?
good
6:14 I see even NASA sometimes have Kraken taking over their software, good it was not on the rocket itself.
you know that is the 2ed i have see where it looks like the motor at 52 in looks like its going to smack the dock / stand
this one is not as bad as the last .. but if there is any wind it looks like the but moves to fast to keep the CG and every thing in line and i am sure waiting for the day smack
nom,nom,nom,nom,nom,nom,nom,nom,nom,nom,nom,nom,nom,nom,nominal!
it reminds me of pac-man every time >.
animation at the middle got some glitch
just keeps jumping
I wonder what caused the animation to glitch.
What happens with the telemetry at 06:13?
Software glitch
Nasa does remember that rockets can get OUR stuff into space, not the Ruskies!
+ WhallOps, we have new upload notification, networking " Nominal " :) , all share system are a go for broadcast !
~ Phobo's GRUNT says thanks kindly for not hitting Putin on his fly home with downrange radar tracking interrogation
= as such competence in super diligence is admirable & essential going forward; ditto for GOLDSTONE facility in serving life out into our Universe together .
i love Canada...we sent some new tech on that rocket....
someone didn't test his graphical interface thoroughly

Nominal.
Did someone take the design off of KSP and call it a day, then name it Antares
ground software glitch
*Executes Kerbal Space Program*
Hey NASA could call out the full countdown under 30 or at least 10 seconds?
~ perhaps you could do a revision parody edited version under copyright exemptions ?
= or just start the video play @ 0:42 in !
This isn't a NASA launch. The private business Orbital Science Corps launched it. The only reason it was uploaded to NASA's channel is because its going to the ISS.
Please, use metric system too :) (we europeans will be glad)
6:13 Merica
Whenever you hear about about the most advanced aerospace technology on earth or something extraordinary being done in space, NASA did it. The Space Shuttle, Cassini, Spirit Rover, Curiosity rover, Voyager, Apollo, ISS, Kepler and Hubble, just to name a few.
solesearched Not to forget the E.S.A. AND other European space agencies plus The Canadian space agency. Oh and Russia as well.
solesearched First satellite, first man in space, first lunar fly-by, orbiter, lander, and rover, first Venus lander, first space station, first robotic sample return, all Russian. NASA is undoubtedly more accomplished, but to act like they are the only ones who ever did anything important in space is ridiculous.
oh god, what have i done....please, i dont want to start an internet fight :/
Kerbal space program IRL
"Nominal" It's not Rocket Science.Look it up.

Nerds DEMAND a "Nominal" counter
"nominal" has to be the most boring word ever.
For these guys, I suspect boring is prefereable to @#$% hitting the fan.
ya, but it makes dull youtube videos. I'm sure if anything hit the fan the views would go trough the roof!
Tim Krause
Better than the rocket going through the roof :)
This video is tame on the 'nominal' calls - I counted only about 50. Their first ISS resupply mission had 97 ;)
so you telling me about 6 more missions till something non-nominal happens?
Tim Krause Fun fact: if you're living in the US, non-nominal likely means some of your tax dollars are going to waste. If you don't live in the US, I suppose it wouldn't really affect you.
I was there and enjoyed the hell out of the experience. Kennedy space centre is awesome!
