More Antares Video

Shot from a Cessna, so you may want to turn your sound off, as all you'll hear is airplane noise.


Orbital Sciences' Antares rocket uses old surplus Soviet NK-33 engines for the first stage. "Surplus" as in the engines were made when NASA was still flying Saturn rockets. The Soviets built them for their own Moon rocket program. Aerojet refurbished and inspected them, but as the old saying goes, you can't inspect in quality.
