A rocket launch in Virginia was aborted at the last moment when a small aircraft flew into restricted airspace.<\/p>\n

The unmanned cargo ship was about to be launched en route to the International Space Station (ISS) when mission control called “abort, abort, abort!”.<\/p>\n

They had spotted a small aircraft flying in restricted airspace at 500ft (150m) near Wallops Island.<\/p>\n

The launch will be attempted again on Sunday morning at 07:14 EST (12:14 GMT).<\/p>\n

The cargo ship was filled with 7,400 lbs (3,356 kg) of food, supplies, equipment and science experiments for the ISS.<\/p>\n

Orbital ATK, which has a $1.9bn (\u00a31.4bn) contract with Nasa to resupply the space station, was sharing live updates before the launch. At first, the preparations were going smoothly.<\/p>\n

As the clock ticked down, it looked as if the ISS would soon be receiving an exciting delivery.<\/p>\n

Until, suddenly, this happened.<\/p>\n

Orbital ATK said there were “no issues until an aircraft flew into restricted airspace”, adding that they would be “ready to go tomorrow morning”.<\/p>\n
