US rocket launch aborted after small plane enters airspace

The unmanned payload send was going to be propelled in transit to the International Space Station (ISS) when mission control called "prematurely end, prematurely end, prematurely end!".

They had recognized a little airplane flying in confined airspace at 500ft (150m) close Wallops Island.

The dispatch will be endeavored again on Sunday morning at 07:14 EST (12:14 GMT).

The load dispatch was loaded with 7,400 lbs (3,356 kg) of sustenance, supplies, hardware and science tests for the ISS.

Orbital ATK, which has a $1.9bn (£1.4bn) contract with Nasa to resupply the space station, was sharing live updates previously the dispatch. At to begin with, the arrangements were going easily.

As the clock ticked down, it looked as though the ISS would soon be getting an energizing conveyance.

Until, all of a sudden, this happened.

Orbital ATK said there were "no issues until the point when an air ship flew into limited airspace", including that they would be "prepared to go tomorrow morning".
