resupply mission for ISS CATO couple of hundred feet post launch
looks like it blew the $#@! out of the launch pad too.
unclear if it was maned. looks like unmanned.
absolutely spectacular explosion! fell back and huge secondary when it hit the launch pad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL5eddt-iAo here is an uploaded video of the launch and explosion.
Looks like it was owned by a corporation. Orbital Sciences Corp. and it failed miserably. Will this waste private money or public money?

It was an orbital science rocket.
better pics should be coming out soon
wow - still nothing on google news.
Wow, that is hard core.

I wonder what plan they have to feed those folks on the ISS when things like this happen.
Depends. Public money paid for the rocket and 5,000 lb payload. The rocket was insured and presumably that included the payload. Still there was custom made equipment on board and re-making it will cost public money. We may have to rent space on a Russian rocket to get food and stuff up to the ISS and repairing the launch facility is probably public money.Originally Posted by 2young2vote

they said it took out some vehicles too. That's going to be an interesting call to someones insurance company.
I wonder if the ISS was filming it? That had to be visible from orbit.

experimental animals and fish first (yes, they are doing aquaculture in space)
then cannibalism.
seriously, though, they expect things like this or weather, etc. to happen so they should be packed deep with rations.

I always assumed they would have atleast a couple months worth EXTRA stashed away.

This Rocket did not get... "Up and at them."
Seriously though: this looked like a compression failure, where the first stage rockets lost all thrust to a blow out, then it simply fell and ignited the remaining fuel on impact.

Launch was originally scheduled for Monday but a boat wandered into a restricted area (safety precaution) and it was delayed. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...esday-evening/
More info:A safety range or launch hazard area of about 1,400 square miles is set up around the launch site so that in case of a failure, no one is at risk.
According to NASA Public Affairs Officer Stephanie Schierholz, public notifications were released to mariners in the vicinity of NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility. The notice outlined the consequences of disregarding the safety range, including fines and even arrest by the U.S. Coast Guard. It’s not yet known what action may have been taken against the passengers of the sailboat that scrubbed Monday night’s launch.
Schierholz described Monday’s hazard in an email:
On Monday evening, a small sailboat, about 26 feet long, entered the hazard zone early in the launch count. The radar aircraft detected the boat and hailed it several times, but there was no response. The spotter plane made multiple passes around the boat at low altitudes using commonly understood signals (wing waving) to establish contact; however the operator did not respond. The boat was traveling very slowly, about 4 knots, and remained in the hazard area at the time of our scheduled launch.

The Antares rocket was made by Orbital Sciences Corp. and carried an Orbital-made Cygnus CRS-3 spacecraft ferrying about 5,000 pounds for resupplying the International Space Station, the heaviest payload to date for the Virginia-based rocket company. The spacecraft was supposed to dock with the ISS on November 2, when the six-person crew of Expedition 41 was to unload the supplies.
Orbital has a $1.9 billion contract with NASA, signed in 2008, as part of the organization's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services. Today's launch would have marked the third Orbital cargo mission out of a total of eight launches under its NASA contract. Orbital has supplied NASA with launch vehicles for more than two decades with its Pegasus and Minotaur rockets, many iterations of which have 100 percent launch success records.

Cause, you know, NASA has a perfect track record.
It sucks that this rocket blew up.That cost an enormous amount of time,work and money to many different entities.
However,the huge area of the ocean that they close off to all traffic and enterprise for all these launches is a joke,you would have a better chance of being struck by lightning than being hit by one of these rockets during an aborted launch.
This has cost me dearly several times in the past and they should just make it voluntary,if you are in the restricted area,you are on your own if a rocket lands on your boat,so don't bother to sue.

Elon Musk's SpaceX does it better. They've already launched four successful resupply missions to the ISS, the most recent of which was just last month. Of course, SpaceX builds their own rockets from the ground up, while Orbital Sciences has been using "off the shelf" Russian engines.
Well, it looks like this engine had a combustion chamber rupture.
That's what I thought when I saw the video. Looked to me like something - maybe part of a nozzle? - blew apart right right on the pad. Whatever happened, it looked like it just wasn't generating enough thrust to maintain lift.
Major bummer. Only real bright spot is the fact that no one got hurt. I'll bet they're going to be picking up pieces of this thing for about ten square miles.
