Formerly known as Taurus-2, the Antares rocket is officially an American space launcher developed by the Virginia-based Orbital Sciences Corporation, OSC, (now known as Orbital ATK). However, in reality, Orbital outsourced the production of the rocket's booster stage to Ukraine and ordered its main engines in Russia. In a bizarre irony of the post-Cold War politics, Ukraine and Russia continued building the rocket for the US, even as the two former Soviet republics essentially went to war with each other in 2014.
