The launch of the ULA Atlas V rocket carrying the OA-7 Cygnus spacecraft for Orbital ATK and NASA is scheduled for no earlier than March 21, due to a booster hydraulic issue discovered during prelaunch testing.

The additional time will allow the team to replace a component and continue with launch preparations.

The Atlas V and Cygnus spacecraft remain secure in their processing facilities.
