    The link above to LynxApollo is for residents of the UK and the Republic of Ireland,
    not the US. Lynx is the British brand name for Axe. (The Axe name couldn't be
    licensed there, according to Wikipedia.)

    This is the website for US residents: https://www.axeapollosweepstakes.com/v/1/

    Today's Antares launch was aborted at about T minus 12 minutes after an umbilical came loose from the second stage of the rocket. Turn-around time is about 48 hours, but a new launch time has not been scheduled yet.

    The rocket has to be safed, the umbilical problem has to be checked, and the weather forecast has to be considered before the launch can be rescheduled.

    Orbital Sciences Corporation will launch its first flight to the International Space Station on Tuesday, 17 September 2013. This is a demo flight under NASA's COTS program. The next flight, CRS Orb-1, which is scheduled for December, will be a cargo flight.

    These articles are in chronological order. The first three are from last spring, shortly after the first flight of Antares.
