The Cygnus commercial cargo spacecraft was developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation and the first three launches were designated “Orb” (the third was a failure).

Orbital merged with ATK to become Orbital ATK and the next six were designated “OA.”

Orbital ATK was acquired by Northrop Grumman in 2018 so they are now designated “NG.”  This is the first to be launched with that label — NG-10.

Most of the Cygnus spacecraft are launched using the Antares rocket, developed by Orbital/Orbital ATK, from Wallops Island, VA, but sometimes on the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral, FL.

This launch is on Antares from Wallops.

NASA is holding two pre-launch briefings on November 13 and 14, and a post-launch briefing on November 15.  See our separate calendar entries for those events.
