The new upgraded Antares rocket is set to be unveiled at Wallops Flight Facility launch pad this week.
If the hot-fire testing of the rocket works out Orbital ATK expects a launch sometime in July.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that this would be the first liftoff from Wallops since a resupply mission to the International Space Station exploded on the launch pad almost two years ago.
The paper reports that the explosion caused $15 million in damage to the launch pad.
NASA has contracted with both Orbital and SpaceX to bring supplies to the space station.
