Orbital ATK on Monday launched its Antares rocket en route to the International Space Station for the first time since a massive explosion after liftoff two years ago.
●    The new Antares 230 rocket propelled an unmanned cargo capsule, called Cygnus, toward the orbiting outpost carrying 5,100 pounds (2,300 kilograms) of supplies, food and science experiments.
●    The first and second stage portion of the rocket separated about five minutes after the launch as planned, and the Cygnus cargo ship reached orbit shortly after, according to a live broadcast of the launch on NASA television.
●    It is scheduled to berth at the space station early on Sunday, October 23.
●    After the Cygnus is unloaded, astronauts will repack it with trash from the space station. 
●    The spaceship will unlatch from the ISS in a month and burn up on re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.
●    The previous Antares rocket exploded in a fireball on October 28, 2014 just seconds after liftoff, destroying the cargo capsule and damaging the launch pad.
