reports that the Cygnus NG-22 spacecraft was damaged during transport.

As a result, NG-22 will be replaced by NG-23, which will fly this fall.

Would the "Mission B" extended-length Cygnus flying on F9 require a modified payload integration analysis?

From the NG-23 mission Prelaunch Media Teleconference:

BREAKING: NG-24 resupply will fly on a Falcon 9 - this is an additional 4th flight beyond the original 3 booked following the retirement of the Antares 230+. It sounds like this 4th flight was purchased a little while ago.

Beyond that, @NorthropGrumman will work with @NASA on the manifest. "We're making great progress on the Antares 330". The first flight of that vehicle is NET 2026.

The NG-22 mission will be manifested in the future. As a reminder, the Cygnus spacecraft for this mission was damaged at sea.

Also from that briefing, it's worth mentioning in this thread that there were reporter questions asking for more information about NG-22, which they mostly dodged, but you can see for yourself.  Crosspost from NG-24 thread:

Another mention of the shipping "incident" of NG-22.  I saw one reference on X that it happened at sea, any more details?

The question was asked (at 27:50-30:00) in the Prelaunch Teleconference.

Thanks for the link to the time of the questions.  Which were asked, but the details of what actually happened was not answered nor was the question about who is paying for the repairs...
