From Stephen Clark at SpaceflightNow (via Twitter):
Northrop Grumman's Kurt Eberly says the company has booked three Falcon 9 missions with SpaceX, beginning in the second half of 2023, to launch Cygnus resupply missions to the International Space Station.
Northrop hopes to have upgraded Antares 330 ready by end of 2024.
