Fox (the #photographer) got started shooting #rocketlaunches. This #ULA / #UnitedLaunchAlliance #AtlasV 401 #rocket with no #SRBs, a single RL-10 engine on the #Centaur upper stage, and a 4 meters is carrying the mission designated OA-7, the seventh #Cygnus #spacecraft to launch to the #InternationalSpaceStation / #ISS. The previous rocket, the #OrbitalSciences #Antares, failed after a refurbished #Soviet-era NK-33 #rocketengine exploded shortly after launch and the resulting explosion badly damaged the #launchpad.
#Orbital selected a ULA Atlas V to launch the next resupply mission while they sourced new engines and redesigned their #rocket.
