One for the future, the 'Cygnus' ISS resupply vessel similar to the ATV, Dragon and HII.

As opposed to Palomino?

is this it? SPACEHAB Apex

Similar, but Apex was a design that didn't make final cut.

As opposed to Palomino?

He was making a reference to this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocinante

The interstellar vessel piloted into a black hole by a man who has fallen for his own misguided interest in it in the two part mini-saga Cygnus X-1 by Canadian progressive rock band Rush

All true Rush fans know the significance of the black hole Cygnus X-1, and the fate of the pilot who flew the Rocinante through it. We call him Cygnus, the god of balance he shall be.

My development includes (until now) The Cygnus PCM, the Taurus 2 Rocket and the Transporter-Erector-Launcher in Wallops/MARS Space Center. Possibly later i'll add the Cygnus UCM.
