Cygnus is over by the Node 1 nadir port - still needs a bit more aligning, obviously, as seen in the camera view from the CBM. Expect 30 minutes more until installation.

Russian activities are using SG-2, so US comms are moving to SG-1 for the afternoon, SG-1 is not aired on the ISS feed so no updates on Cygnus ingress...

A major chapter closes at @NASA_Wallops, with the final Antares. Immensely honored & proud to have been in great company (too many to tag!) documenting this historic finale to a launch vehicle.

Is NG-19 still carrying cubesats? There were three cubesats - 2 from Virginia universities and one from CU Aerospace - on board last I understood. They were supposed to be launched into separate orbits. However, have heard some chatter that NASA may not be allowing independent cubesat deploys from Cygnus anymore. Is this true?
NASA's cargo mass breakdown, and other highlights. Though no clarification on CubeSats, unless I missed something when skimming through it.

Neither Ut ProSat-1 nor SeaLion were on this flight.
Students and researchers at Virginia Tech are preparing to launch an experimental satellite called Ut ProSat-1 to test new spacefaring technology. The satellite will be launched on a rocket in December and will be controlled from the university’s Ground Station in Blacksburg. The team at Virginia Tech is responsible for building and testing the satellite, with the exception of the experimental boom provided by NASA.
(...)
Ut ProSat-1 is being launched alongside another spacecraft developed by Old Dominion University and the Coast Guard Academy.
(...)
Originally scheduled for launch from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, the satellites were bumped to launch from California in December due to changes in the rocket and dispensers. Despite this change, the mission is moving forward and the Ut ProSat-1 satellite will orbit Earth for a few years before eventually burning up upon re-entry.
