Antares Resupply Missions to ISS to Resume at Wallops

Two Antares Rockets are expected to make trips to the International Space Station in 2016 from Virginia’s Eastern Shore.

The program has been on hold since a rocket exploded on the launch pad at the Wallops Flight Facility 15 months ago.  

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that they will go up sometime this summer and fall.

Meanwhile, there will be another series of seven sounding rockets that will take off starting in February.

In addition, there will also be around a dozen balloon launches.
