An Orb-3 space vehicle carrying the experimental materials is scheduled to launch from Wallops Island, Va., on Oct. 21, and the L&N team might get to travel up there to watch it, school officials said.<\/em><\/p>\n

When the astronauts begin the experiment once the materials have been transported to the International Space Station, the L&N team will do a similar experiment with a similar tube here for comparison later, Hawkins added.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here Orb-3 refers to the third cargo delivery flight to the ISS that will be carried out by Orbital Sciences with the Antares rocket<\/a> and Cygnus cargo module<\/a>.
