Item 8.01 Other Events.
      Orbital Sciences Corporation (the “Company”) hereby announces the pending expiration of the Company’s outstanding warrants (CUSIP No. 685564148) to purchase the Company’s common stock that the Company issued in August 2002 (the “Warrants”). The Company issued the Warrants pursuant to a Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”), dated August 22, 2002, between the Company and U.S. Bank, N.A., as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”). The Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 15, 2006. To the extent not exercised by such date and time, the Warrants shall become void.
      Each Warrant, when exercised, entitles the holder to purchase 122.23 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $3.86 per share. The Warrants may be exercised by surrendering the warrant certificates evidencing the Warrants to be exercised with the accompanying form of election to purchase that is properly completed and executed (with signatures guaranteed), together with the payment of the exercise price to the Warrant Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 15, 2006. Payment of the exercise price may be made in accordance with the Warrant Agreement by tendering the exercise price in cash in United States dollars by wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the Company. Warrantholders have the option, in lieu of exercising their Warrants for cash, to receive common stock with an aggregate market value equal to the difference between the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock for the twenty trading days preceding the exercise date and the exercise price multiplied by the number of such shares.
      Further information regarding the exercise of the Warrants can be obtained by calling the Warrant Agent at (651) 495-3520.
