The United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket was transfered from its assembly building to the pad at Cape Canaveral\u2019s Complex 41 today for Tuesday\u2019s launch of a commercially-operated cargo ship to resupply the International Space Station.<\/p>\n

Liftoff is planned for 11:11 a.m. EDT (1511 GMT).<\/p>\n

The rocket was wheeled out aboard a mobile launcher platform, emerging from the hangar where the rocket\u2019s two stages and the payload were integrated.<\/p>\n

The slow drive from the 30-story Vertical Integration Facility to the launch pad used a pair of specially-made \u201ctrackmobiles\u201d to carry the rocket\u2019s 1.4-million pound launching platform along rail tracks for the 1,800-foot trip.<\/p>\n

The rocket is flying the 401 vehicle configuration. The version features two stages, a four-meter-diameter nose cone and no solids. It is powered off the launch pad by an RD AMROSS RD-180 main engine. The Centaur upper stage has an Aerojet Rocketdyne RL10C-1 cryogenic engine.<\/p>\n
