Any word to what former NASA/Orbital associate that OA-7 will be dedicated? In recent missions, they'd shown photos or released the name before sealing-up and shipping, but nothing's on their site.
Guess it'll be a surprise.

Not yet, no. Though there are certainly (and very sadly) many to choose from. My bet would be either Glenn or Cernan.

I really hope Neil Armstrong's namesake is chosen for OA-7.
Even though he passed away four and a half years ago, I've always hypothesized a certain Cygnus named "S.S. Neil Armstrong".

Never noticed that the Cygnus grapple fixture has power/data connections. What's that for? Dragon, HTV, and (in concept art) DC-Cargo just use the standard mechanical-only fixtures

HTV has both FRGF and PDGF. There's a nice image of the HTV-EP PDGFs in the first post of the HTV-6 thread.
HTV6 EP media event was held.
New Li-ion battery ORUs were already installed on External Pallet (EP).

Any info on the status of SamSat (RU01), ANUSAT 2 (IN01) and QBUS 3 (Discovery, US03), which according to QB50 were to be integrated into a single deployer directly by NanoRacks (
https://qb50.eu/index.php/news )
The QB50 list does not mention them anymore - did they not make it on the launch?

Heard today that the Biarri-Point 3U cubesat is flying on OA-7. This is a joint USAF/DSTG mission where DSTG (Defence Science Technology Group) is providing the GPS receiver payload. DSTG has a large research centre here in Adelaide. This will be their first involvement with a satellite (that we know of) since the launch of WRESAT in 1967! Also heard that Centaur will be deploying four cubesats after Cygnus separation. I don't know which cubesats though.

Aalto 2 will be the first Finnish satellite in orbit, by the way.
(actually, it could be only the second
to be deployed if Aalto 1, which was transferred from Falcon 9 to PSLV lifts off before QB50 deployment from ISS...)
Anyway, Finland still lags far behind of its beloved neighbour, Sweden, which had its first satellite (a sort of a cubesat also...) back in 1966. You know... Gemini X and Mike Collins' EVA... Hasselblad-camera...
