Here’s a science question for you: E. coli, microclover and a virtual reality camera — what do they have in common?
Answer: They’ll all be aboard the Cygnus cargo spacecraft set to launch early Saturday from Virginia’s spaceport on Wallops Island to the International Space Station.
Stand outside at 7:37 a.m., look eastward and, weather and launch parameters permitting, you could see a medium-lift Antares rocketing off on a mission to deliver a whole suite of science experiments, groceries and hardware to the latest ISS crew members now living in low-Earth orbit.
