Get ready for another rocket launch to the International Space Station.

It’s set for February 9th from Wallops Flight facility at around 5:40 p.m.  

The Salisbury Daily Times reports it is part of the Northrop Grumman Antares program.

But the beach area at the Assateague Island National Seashore will not be open for the launch.
