• 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".)
