Possible that this may switch to F9? Could that be one of the reasons for a delay to July?

0773-EX-ST-2023Quote
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The original request for the NG-19 Cygnus spacecraft was for a 21-day period after de-berthing, but only a 7-day period was granted, 0105-EX-ST-2023, WU9XHC. The purpose of this application is to request that the period currently specified in Condition 1 be changed to 21 days. The 21-day period is required by and directly supports NASA contractual obligations for the NASA secondary payload Saffire. The mission has been delayed since the original application as well, so this new application is for the current projected dates beginning July 1, 2023. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC) will launch and operate the NG-19 Cygnus spacecraft as part of the NASA Commercial Resupply Services 2 (CRS2) program. The Cygnus mission will be up to 180 days in length, as follows: • Launch (from Wallops Island Virginia), orbit raising maneuvers, and approach to ISS (3 days); • Berthed operations (planned for 84 days); • De-berthing, departure, orbit maneuvers, secondary mission objectives, and controlled destructive re-entry into Earths atmosphere over southern Pacific ocean (up to 21 days). Cygnus spacecraft telemetry will be transmitted during all phases of the mission. An STA is required for the Cygnus spacecraft due to the short duration of the mission and because of the need for frequency coordination among users of the applicable frequency bands. This STA application is consistent with FCC/NTIA policies and is similar to STA applications submitted for previous Cygnus spacecraft. -

QuoteAbout the NG-19 Mission
Northrop Grumman is proud to name the NG-19 Cygnus spacecraft in remembrance and celebration of the life of NASA astronaut Dr. Laurel Clark.
It is the company’s tradition to name each Cygnus spacecraft in honor of an individual who has made substantial contributions to human spaceflight. Dr. Clark was an accomplished undersea medical officer and naval flight surgeon prior to her NASA career. During her first and only spaceflight, STS-107, Dr. Clark and the rest of the crew aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia tragically lost their lives on Feb. 1, 2003 when the shuttle did not survive reentry into Earth’s atmosphere. -

Some discussion on the call [SpaceX CRS-28 pre-flight briefing] about the next Cygnus mission, NG-19, which has slipped to some time this summer. NASA says Northrop is still working to make sure the anomaly on NG-18 (undeployed solar array) doesn't happen again, but hinted at "other things" in work.

MEDIA ADVISORY M23-076
NASA Invites Media to Northrop Grumman Cargo Launch to Space Station
Media accreditation is open for launch of the next commercial resupply services mission to deliver NASA science investigations, supplies, and equipment to the International Space Station.
NASA and Northrop Grumman are targeting liftoff of the company’s Antares rocket and Cygnus spacecraft, named the S.S. Laurel Clark, no earlier than 8:30 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, Aug. 1, from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport’s Pad 0A a t the agency’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.
Both U.S. and international media may apply for credentials to cover the prelaunch and launch activities at Wallops. The application deadline for U.S. citizens is 3 p.m., Wednesday, July 26. International media without U.S. citizenship must apply by 3 p.m., Tuesday, July 18. Media must RSVP to Amy Barra at: [email protected]. NASA’s media accreditation media accreditation policy is available online.
The in-person, multi-day media event includes an opportunity to tour the launch pad, capture video and photos using remote camera setups, and experience the launch from a media viewing area.
Following launch, Cygnus will be grappled by the space station’s Canadarm2 no earlier than Friday, Aug. 4, and berthed to the Unity module’s Earth-facing port for cargo unloading by the Expedition 69 crew.
Each resupply mission to the station delivers scientific investigations in the areas of biology and biotechnology, Earth and space science, physical sciences, and technology development and demonstrations.
Highlights of space station research aboard this Cygnus are:
The final iteration of a series of flammability experiments
A new potable water dispenser that provides hot water and improved sanitization
Neural cells that will be cultured into 3D cell models for gene therapy testing
A probe that measures plasma contents of the upper atmosphere
A memory card that contains creative works from students around the world
Cargo resupply from U.S. companies ensures a national capability to deliver critical scientific research to the space station, significantly increasing NASA's ability to conduct new investigations aboard humanity’s laboratory in space.

MEDIA ADVISORY M23-086
NASA to Discuss Science on Next Northrop Grumman Space Station Mission
NASA will host a media teleconference at 10 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, July 18, to discuss the next science investigations bound for the International Space Station aboard Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus spacecraft on the company’s 19th commercial resupply mission for NASA.
Audio of the media call will stream live at:
https://www.nasa.gov/live
NASA and Northrop Grumman are targeting launch no earlier than 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 1. The Cygnus spacecraft, carried atop the company’s Antares rocket, will launch from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The mission will carry scientific research, crew supplies, and hardware to the space station to support its Expedition 69 crew.
Cygnus is scheduled to rendezvous with the station on Friday, Aug. 4, for robotic installation to the Unity module’s Earth-facing port.
To participate in the call, media must RSVP at least two hours prior to the start of the event to Joshua Finch at [email protected]. The public can submit questions on social media using #AskNASA. A copy of the agency’s media policy is online.
Heidi Parris, associate program scientist for the International Space Station Program at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, will provide an overview of the research launching aboard the Cygnus spacecraft.
In addition to Parris, teleconference participants include:
Dr. David Urban, branch chief, and principal investigator for Saffire-VI, NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland
Katherine Toon, integration manager for exploration environmental control and life support, International Space Station Program at NASA Johnson, who will speak on Exploration Potable Water Dispenser
Dr. Shane Hegarty, chief scientific officer and co-founder of Axonis Therapeutics, Inc., and principal investigator for Neuronix
Dr. Lasse Clausen, professor of Plasma and Space Physics, University of Oslo, Norway, who will speak on Multi-Needle Langmuir Probe
Tsutomu Yamanaka, principal investigator IHI Corporation, and principal investigator for I-Space Essay
Cargo resupply from U.S. companies ensures a national capability to deliver critical hardware and science research to the space station, significantly increasing the ability of NASA to conduct new investigations at the orbital outpost. Other U.S. government agencies, private industry, and academic and research institutions can also conduct microgravity research through our partnership with the International Space Station National Laboratory.
The orbiting microgravity laboratory advances scientific knowledge in Earth, space, physical, and biological sciences. Such research benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork for future human exploration deeper into the solar system, including to the Moon through the agency’s Artemis missions.
