    according to gunter's space page,

    this cubsat will be lofted aboard the antares vehicle... that would appear to be 
    orbital's vehicle... the only schedule being shown is sometime in Jan 2014 from 
    the wallops launch facilities...

    after launch and transport to the ISS, skycube will be released into orbit about 
    two months later...
