and built by <a href="/wiki/Orbital_Sciences_Corporation" title="Orbital Sciences Corporation">Orbital Sciences Corporation</a> (later <a href="/wiki/Orbital_ATK" title="Orbital ATK">Orbital ATK</a> and <a href="/wiki/Northrop_Grumman" title="Northrop Grumman">Northrop Grumman</a>) with financial support from NASA under the <a href="/wiki/Commercial_Orbital_Transportation_Services" title="Commercial Orbital Transportation Services">Commercial Orbital Transportation Services</a> (COTS) program awarded in February 2008, alongside the company's automated cargo spacecraft, <a href="/wiki/Cygnus_(spacecraft)" title="Cygnus (spacecraft)">Cygnus</a>. Like other launch vehicles developed by Orbital, Antares leveraged lower-cost, off-the-shelf parts and designs. </p><p>The first stage is <a href="/wiki/Liquid-propellant_rocket" title="Liquid-propellant rocket">liquid fueled</a>, burning <a href="/wiki/RP-1" title="RP-1">RP-1</a> (kerosene) and <a href="/wiki/Liquid_oxygen" title="Liquid oxygen">liquid oxygen</a> (LOX). Due to Orbital's limited experience with large liquid stages, the construction was subcontracted to the Ukrainian companies <a href="/wiki/KB_Pivdenne" title="KB Pivdenne">Pivdenne</a> and <a href="/wiki/PA_Pivdenmash" title="PA Pivdenmash">Pivdenmash</a>. Initially, the Antares 100 series used refurbished NK-33 engines, remnants of the Soviet <a href="/wiki/N1_(rocket)" title="N1 (rocket)">N1</a> moon rocket. However, after a catastrophic explosion, the Antares 200 series transitioned to newly built Russian <a href="/wiki/RD-191" title="RD-191">RD-191</a> engines. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Northrop Grumman announced plans for the Antares 300, featuring a new first stage developed in partnership with <a href="/wiki/Firefly_Aerospace" title="Firefly Aerospace">Firefly Aerospace</a>. The new first stage, similar to Firefly's MLV launch vehicle, will incorporate composite structures and seven <a href="/wiki/Miranda_(engine)" class="mw-redirect" title="Miranda (engine)">Miranda</a> engines, increasing Antares's payload capacity. </p><p>The second stage is a <a href="/wiki/Castor_30" class="mw-redirect" title="Castor 30">Castor 30</a>-series solid-fuel rocket, derived from the Castor 120 solid motor used in Orbital's <a href="/wiki/Minotaur-C" title="Minotaur-C">Minotaur-C</a> (the original Taurus I), and itself based on a <a href="/wiki/LGM-118_Peacekeeper" title="LGM-118 Peacekeeper">Peacekeeper</a> ICBM first stage. While an optional third stage is offered, it has never been used due to the Cygnus spacecraft's integrated service module. </p><p>Antares made its maiden flight on April 21, 2013, launching the <a href="/wiki/Antares_A-ONE" title="Antares A-ONE">Antares A-ONE</a> mission from <a href="/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_Regional_Spaceport_Launch_Pad_0" title="Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport Launch Pad 0">LP-0A</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_Regional_Spaceport" title="Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport">Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport</a> (MARS) with a Cygnus mass simulator. Later that year, on September 18, the rocket successfully launched <a href="/wiki/Cygnus_Orb-D1" title="Cygnus Orb-D1">Orb-D1</a>, the first Cygnus mission to rendezvous with the <a href="/wiki/International_Space_Station" title="International Space Station">International Space Station</a> (ISS). Following the successful completion of these two COTS demonstration missions, Antares and Cygnus have been awarded two <a href="/wiki/Commercial_Resupply_Services" title="Commercial Resupply Services">Commercial Resupply Services</a> contracts, encompassing a total of 25 missions to the ISS. </p><p>The COTS program also funded the development of <a href="/wiki/SpaceX" title="SpaceX">SpaceX</a>'s <a href="/wiki/SpaceX_Dragon" title="SpaceX Dragon">Dragon</a> spacecraft and <a href="/wiki/Falcon_9" title="Falcon 9">Falcon 9</a> rocket, aiming to stimulate the commercial space industry by creating two medium-lift launch vehicles. While SpaceX's Falcon 9 has achieved significant commercial success, Antares has not. To date, NASA remains Antares's sole customer, and Cygnus its only payload. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Antares_(rocket)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>As the <a href="/wiki/Space_Shuttle_program" title="Space Shuttle program">Space Shuttle program</a> neared its end, NASA sought to develop new capabilities for resupplying the <a href="/wiki/International_Space_Station" title="International Space Station">International Space Station</a> (ISS).
