NASA Postpones Orbital Launch, Sets Spacewalks to Repair Faulty Station Pump Module: NASA managers are postponing the upcoming Orbital Sciences commercial cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station. Orbital Sciences' Cygnus spacecraft, atop its Antares rocket, now will launch no earlier than mid-January.
