Antares rocket

The Antares rocket is an expendable launch vehicle developed by Northrop Grumman for NASA, primarily used to deliver cargo to the International Space Station. It consists of multiple stages that work together to propel payloads into space. The rocket is powered by liquid engines that burn rocket fuel to generate the necessary thrust. Designed for reliability and safety, Antares is part of the commercial space launch industry, helping to transport supplies and research materials to orbiting space stations, supporting scientific experiments and international cooperation in space exploration.
