http://www.nasa.gov/exploration/commercial/cargo/orbitalsciences-index.htmlIn advance of the launch, NASA will host a media briefing to discuss the Wallops Flight Facility, Orbital's activities under NASA's commercial space initiatives, and the new Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport Pad-0A. It will begin at 2 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, at the Wallops Visitors Center. At 3 p.m., NASA will host a prelaunch news conference about the test launch and mission. Both briefings will be carried live on NASA TV and the agency's website.
Is there a range hazard area available for this mission yet?

Yes, we have a couple of cameras on the rocket, but they are aimed at points of engineering interest (the inside of the fairing, with suitable lighting) not fancy outside views... sorry...We have no control of what video the NASA producers will select for the webcast. We do have a camera on the water tower, and all video is, of course, recorded, so I hope that, in time, we will be able to show these shots.

Dr. Elias,Do you know if the launch commentary will be available via radio, and if so, do you know what frequency we can tune to?Thanks very much,David
AFAIK no, I'm sorry...

Their design philosophy is probably best addressed on another thread. I'm just so pleased we will actually be seeing the beginnings of actual competition in ISS resupply.
Why do you think this is a competition? There were two contracts available. Each company got one. Competition over for the time being.
