Antares

After an Antares launch failure in 2014, Orbital Sciences replaced the original AJ26 engines with RD-181 engines and launched two Cygnus missions on United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rockets.

Northrop Grumman uses the Antares launch vehicle to launch Cygnus cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station.

The October 2014 failure of an Orbital ATK Antares rocket affected Ukraine because the rocket’s first stage was designed and built by Ukrainian firms Yuzhnoye and Yuzhmash.

Northrop Grumman’s Antares rocket uses RD-181 engines manufactured in Russia and a first stage built by Ukraine’s Yuzhnoye/Yuzhmash.

The Cygnus cargo spacecraft that arrived on the latest Antares launch was planned to test reboosting the International Space Station’s orbit in April 2022.

Dmitry Rogozin decided to cut off the supply of RD-181 engines used in Northrop Grumman’s Antares rocket, which is used to launch cargo resupply missions to the International Space Station.

A Northrop Grumman Antares 230+ rocket launched the NG-17 mission from Pad 0A at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at Wallops Island, Virginia on 2022-02-19 with a Cygnus cargo spacecraft.

Antares first stages are built in Ukraine by Yuzhnoye State Design Office and Yuzhmash Machine Building Plant and are powered by RD-181 engines from Russia’s NPO Energomash.

A 2014 Antares launch failure led Orbital ATK, later acquired by Northrop Grumman, to use United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V rocket for two Cygnus missions in 2015 and 2016.

NASA Wallops Flight Facility has launched Northrop Grumman Antares rockets and Cygnus capsules to transport cargo to the International Space Station and has launched sounding rockets.

Antares regularly launches Cygnus cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station under NASA’s Commercial Resupply Services program.

A Northrop Grumman Antares rocket carrying a Cygnus resupply spacecraft launched from Pad-0A of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility on Tuesday, 2021-08-10.

A Northrop Grumman Antares 230+ rocket launched the NG-16 Cygnus cargo spacecraft on 2021-08-10 from Pad 0A at the Mid Atlantic Regional Spaceport at Wallops Island, Virginia.

Cygnus launched on an Antares 230+ rocket from the Virginia Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport’s Pad 0A at Wallops Flight Facility.

Antares is set to launch on 2021-08-10 at 5:56 p.m. EDT from Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport 0A at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

Cygnus NG-16 will launch on a Northrop Grumman Antares rocket from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

Planet lost 26 satellites in the 2014 failure of an Orbital Sciences Antares rocket.

The NG-15 Cygnus spacecraft launched on 2021-02-20 aboard Northrop Grumman’s Antares rocket.
