Cygnus Delayed Again

Orbital Sciences once again delayed the launch of its Cygnus supply spacecraft to ISS yesterday.  The launch was delayed by the problem with the cooling system on ISS, and again by extremely cold weather at its Virginia launch site.  Yesterday, the problem was a huge solar flare that threatened the electronics not of Cygnus, but of its rocket, Antares.

The company will decide soon when to try again.
