Northrop Grumman Getting Ready to Launch Cygnus on Antares to ISS

This cargo vessel is named for Kalpana Chawla, the first woman from India to launch into space (she was a naturalized citizen of the US), who died on shuttle Columbia's final flight. The launch will bring up cargo as well as a new space toilet and a 360° camera for filming a spacewalk for viewing in virtual reality. The launch is occurring from wallops in Virginia and should take off in about 5 minutes.

Attempt 2 tonight

New space toilet? Is it gold plated and does it come with a bidet? I can't imagine trying to get TP in space.

Note that Russia and the US are working together on Ops in space.
Over the course of the last year, Russia and the US have been trading a lot of secrets. Lots of dirt on the past admin.
