Northrop Grumman will be launching an Enhanced Cygnus spacecraft on a cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station for NASA. The Cygnus will launch on Antares 230 rocket from Launch Pad 0 (LP-0) at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) in Wallops Island, VA. The Antares 230 is powered by two RD-181 engines, burning RP-1 and liquid oxygen in the first stage. The second stage has a single solid fuel Castor 30XL motor.
