A supply ship rocketed toward the International Space Station on Saturday with sports car parts, an oven for baking cookies and a vest to protect against radiation. Northrop Grumman launched its Cygnus capsule for NASA from Wallops Island, Virginia. The 8,200-pound shipment (3,700 kilograms) should reach the orbiting lab Monday. "Good launch all the way around,'' a ground controller observed. The space station's astronauts will test the oven by baking chocolate chip cookies and try out the new safety vest to gauge its comfort.
