Both events proceeded successfully.

Cygnus is now docked to the ISS and being unloaded. Once unloded it will be packed with junk and released. The junk will then be burned up when entering the atmosphere. Cygnus is not designed for landing.

The maiden flight of Falcon 9 1.1 was also successful. The main satellite the Canandian CASSIOPE, and a number of very small secondary payloads were successfully released into the intended orbit.

Tests performed after completion of the mission were not so successful. The second stage was scheduled to relight as a demo of that capability for the next flight. That did not happen. They say telemetry data were good, they know the reasons and how to make changes so it will go well next time.

The next launch will be an expensive geostationary Comm-Sat. The customer and his insurance company want a high degree of security for the launch. So it will need some convincing with good data to get the go ahead for that launch.

The first stage was used for a test how to get it back for relaunch. The first of two steps worked well, the second failed, which was not unexpected. Again they got telemetry data and are confident they can eliminate the reasons for failure. In fact they are happy with the result. They say before that flight they were confident they can reuse stages, now they KNOW it. If everything goes very well, they could land and REFLY a first stage as early as end of next year.

Of course in spaceflight things usually don't go that well. But it looks very good for 2015.
