The spacecraft will undergo processing and assembly at the facility and its shipment concludes a new milestone for NASA’s next International Space Station cargo mission, NASA said Tuesday.

NASA plans to launch the OA-7 mission on March 16 from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

The Cygnus spacecraft will take off aboard an Atlas V rocket with crew supplies, equipment and scientific experiments bound for the ISS.

OA-7 will mark Orbital ATK’s seventh flight to ISS under its Commercial Resupply Services -1 contract with NASA.

The company completed its sixth delivery mission in November 2016.
