#Antares orb-3 accident A very unfortunate incident for NASA and the commercial orbital transportation services program took place yesterday.
The Antares rocket that was about to send the Cygnus spacecraft on the ISS exploded a few seconds after its launch from NASA's Wallops flight facilities.
(along with Spacex) under contract from NASA for supplying the International Space station with cargo supplies and secondary experimental and commercial ISS payload.
As stated by NASA's press conference the flight termination system was activated. This is a remote manual intervention that initiates a self-destruction mechanism
During the press conference that took place shortly after the accident NASA official stated their satisfaction from the way Orbital operates
and as stated on the press conference NASA and Orbital will find a way to deal with the cost of any replacements.
NASA came up with the answer recently when their teams began putting one of its humanoid robots through medical school.
