This is the last mission from the extended CRS contract; followup missions are part of the CRS2 contract. NG-11 was also the first mission to utilize the Antares twenty four hour prior load where critical hardware could be loaded into Cygnus just twenty four hours prior to launch. The spacecraft for the NG-11 is named the S.S. Roger Chaffee after Roger Chaffee who lost his life during training for the Apollo 1 mission.
