Iuka eyes’ affixed to the heavens

IUKA, Miss. - Workers at the ATK Aerospace manufacturing plant in Tishomingo County will have their eyes toward the heavens Friday. ATK Aerospace built components for the Orion EFT-1 rocket, which is tentatively set to be launched by NASA from Cape Canaveral, Fla., weather permitting. It's the nation's first new spacecraft intended for outer-space travel by humans since the Apollo moon program. Many critical parts of the launch vehicle and capsule were made at the North Mississippi site. (Source: WTVA-Tupelo, 12/03/14)
