摘要

Shortly before its Antares rocket exploded Oct. 28, Orbital Sciences Corp. asked a federal judge to force a contractor to turn over hardware the Dulles, Virginia, company needs before it can launch a new version of its Cygnus cargo capsule that was supposed to debut in April. The timing of that mission is now in doubt following the failure of the company's Antares rocket, which exploded seconds after liftoff from its Wallops Island, Virginia launch pad, destroying the Cygnus freighter it was attempting to launch to the international space station. Antares is grounded at least until Orbital Sciences, NASA and Antares main-stage propulsion provider Aerojet Rocketdyne complete a failure investigation. The motion for a preliminary injunction Orbital filed Oct. 28 is the latest turn in a lawsuit centered around the Transporter Erector Launcher, the slow-moving mobile launch tower used to haul Antares out of its hangar and raise the rocket vertical at the pad. NASA's day-after assessment of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport's Pad 0A found that the Transporter Erector Launcher was among the ground hardware damaged when Antares erupted into a ball of flame and debris.
