This launch is carrying two Astro Pi's to the ISS which may be used to provide a video source for the HamTV system. http://amsat-uk.org/2015/10/30/tim-peake-kg5bvi-iss-astro-pis/

As well as @astro_pi the Cygnus also carries the first Elementary School satellite STMsat 437.8 MHz, and other CubeSats such as CADRE intended for later deployment from ISS. IARU info on STMsat http://www.amsatuk.me.uk/iaru/finished_detail.php?serialnum=460
