   Cygnus?  Northrup Grumman as the absorber of Orbital Sciences   
   Corporation.   
      
   Launched on various versions of Antares and Atlas V.  Since Nov 2017,   
   launched on an Antares 230+, most recently the /Ellison Onizuka/ on   
   August 10, about 83 days ago.   
      
   Definitely not planned to be upgraded to crew, and definitely not cargo   
   return.  However, NG is developing the Lunar Gateway HALO from these   
   modules.   
      
   The Japanese can still launch HTV, most recently in May of 2020, and   
   there's been mention of cargo return and crewed versions, but the   
   enhanced cargo HTV-X has not yet debuted, and it is one-way only.
