New Launch Date and Time:
October 17, 2016; 7:40 p.m. EDT

“Today’s launch of Orbital ATK’s Antares rocket is postponed 24 hours
due to a ground support equipment (GSE) cable that did not perform as
expected during the pre-launch check out. We have spares on hand and
rework procedures are in process. The Antares and Cygnus teams are not
currently working any technical issues with the rocket or the
spacecraft.”
