[QUOTE="gkasica, post: 865, member: 94"] Here's the Northrop/Grumman link below. It's actually a bit worse than it sounds. N/G has only two Antares rockets left to fly the Cygnus resupply capsules. The rocket motors are made in Russia and the booster cores in Ukraine. These are planned resupply flights nothing special in terms of reboost or maneuvering. The first issue with doing reboost, etc. is that we have nothing that will dock with the Russian docking port. The configuration is not the same as the American one. To pull an Apollo 13 quote "Someone tell me this isn't a government operation" in reference to the Lithium hydroxide canisters in the command module being round and those in the lunar module being square.
