[i]The Atlas 5 is scheduled to launch the first of the enhanced-version Cygnus modules in October. [Orbital ATK Chief Executive David] Thompson said NASA may wish to delay the launch to November depending on space station traffic, but that Orbital will be ready in October. Then comes the January test firing of the Antares first stage equipped with the new RD-181 engine. "Unless something surprising occurs, we should then be able to proceed pretty expeditiously to the launch of the re-engined vehicle in March of next year, and that will have a full cargo load." Thompson said.[/i]
