NOTTINGHAM, MD—Nottingham-area residents could be able to sneak a peek at a rocket launch on Thursday night, if the skies cooperate.

Observers up and down the East Coast could see the launch of a Cygnus spacecraft (that will be heading to the International Space Station) atop a two-stage Antares rocket.  The launch will take place at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility.

Northrop Grumman is coordinating the launch, which will deliver nearly 8,000 lbs. (3,600 kilograms) of supplies, marking the company’s 14th resupply mission to the International Space Station for NASA, according to Space.com.
