Three quick updates on Cygnus:
The spacecraft completed its Electromagnetic compatibility tests this weeked. These tests included self-interference, interference *to* ISS systems, and interference *from* ISS emissions. It passed, as expected.
The COTS Demo flight Service Module is being prepped for TVAC (see picture).
The ORB-3 (third CRS operational flight) Service Module structure is at Wallops for a fit check with the COTS Demo Pressurized cargo Module later this week.

Must resist linking recent XKCD concerning white balance...
Glad to hear things are progressing, can not wait to see them attached to the ISS!

You know, there should be options on your blackberry to adjust the white balance. There is on mine, and I've got an old one.

Just in, takes a couple of days to make all the connections, then a couple more to do some open-air tests, then you start to pump down, then a couple weeks of cycles/plateaus, then a day or so back to ambient.

Welll.. actually a) it was an Android, not a BlackBerry (O.K., O.K., so I took RIM's name in vain... shows my bias... currently use an iPhone) and b) I did not take the pic, Neiland Haggard (head of Cygnus I&T) did. And I'm thankful enought to Neiland for taking them and sending them to me so I won't nag him about being unbalanced  my "plan" is to crowd-source the white balancing of Orbital cheesy pictures
