Morning. Thanks for the early coverage guys - as much as I didn't expect some bad news already. We'll dig into what's gone wrong here.

Discussion between CAPCOM and Karen mentioned something about the two vehicles analyzing differential GPS differently/incompatibly if I recall correctly

Not much to add, but we did get an email a few minutes ago saying that there would be a statement posted to the 'microsite' soon. (
http://www.orbital.com/Antares-Cygnus/
)
(And just saw a
Tweet
went out from Orbital noting the 48-hr delay "due data link issue between the spacecraft and station during #cotsdemo".)
