Oct. 16 2330 UTC Long March 2F - Shenzhou 11 crewed (not ours)
Oct. 17 0003 UTC Antares - OA-5 uncrewed (tribal psychosis guaranteed)
Oct. 19 0805 UTC Soyuz - ISS 48S crewed (boring)

"Orbital ATK ordered new RD-181 engines from NPO Energomash, a rocket engine-maker based in a suburb of Moscow, to fly on future Antares rockets. They replace the Antares rocket’s old AJ26 first stage engines manufactured in the 1970s for the Soviet Union’s N1 moon rocket."

I'm currently at NASA Goddard in DC, so me and the squad will be driving down to watch it in person. Pretty stoked.
