The flight, which has been delayed, is now scheduled for no earlier than Sunday, Oct. 16, at 8:03 p.m.
The forecast for Sunday night from Weather.com calls for some clouds in northern Delaware and clear skies on Wallops Island.
The ability to see the launch may be possible throughout Delaware and the Mid-Atlantic, depending on location, elevation and local weather conditions.
Orbital ATK’s Cygnus spacecraft will launch aboard the company’s Antares rocket from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport launch pad at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
Orbital ATK has a site in Elkton, MD that produces retro rocket motors for the Cygnus.
