Default Antares roll-out

Thanks to NBCNews.com for pointing out OCS is taking the next step in
their station supply entry:

"The first stage of Orbital Sciences' Antares rocket arrived today at
its pad at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS), which is located
at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in eastern Virginia. The move marks
the beginning of on-pad preparations for a series of important trials
with Antares that will take place over the next few months, Orbital
officials said."

And several sources have covered the hotfire test this week.

Here's NBCNews' lede:

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Feb. 22, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aerojet, a
GenCorp (NYSE:GY) company, announced that its dual AJ26 main engine
system successfully powered today's Antares™ Stage 1 Hot Fire test
conducted by Orbital Sciences Corporation (NYSE:ORB) at the
Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport located at NASA's Wallops Flight
Facility on the eastern shore of Virginia.

Pat would love that this uses adaptations of engines designed for the
N-1 (AJ26 engines started life as NK-33 engines).

Did they not just test the engines, or did I dream that bit?
