Taurus II and Cygnus
I’ve actually stood in the now-famous warehouse in Samara, Russia and seen the 100 or so leftover NK-33 engines all covered in plastic. It will be thrilling to see one of these engines launched into space on a US vehicle.
The vehicle, under a new designation, is slated for use on Taurus II.
Orbital will employ its Taurus II medium-lift launch vehicle and the Cygnus spacecraft in order to service the International Space Station (ISS) under the Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) contract.
