Engineers Bury Time Capsule

A time capsule encasing examples of technology from the past was buried on the grounds of the new Engineering and Science Building, to be opened 100 years from now.

On the day before the mission, we were able visit the launchpad. This was NASA Orbital ATK's seventh mission as part of the Commercial Resupply Services Program for the International Space Station. The Cygnus Spacecraft, which held supplies along with several experiments to be conducted on the Space Station, rested on an Atlas V 401 rocket.
