NASAs Northrop Grumman 21st Cargo Mission: Launch Coverage Underway
NASA's coverage is underway on NASA+, NASA Television, the NASA app, YouTube, X, Facebook, and the agency's website for the launch of Northrop Grumman's 21st commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station. The company's Cygnus spacecraft is scheduled for liftoff at 11:02 a.m. EDT on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Filled with more than 8,200 pounds of scientific investigations, food, supplies, and equipment, Cygnus will arrive at the orbiting outpost on Tuesday, Aug. 6. NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick will capture Cygnus using the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm, and NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps is backup. After capture, the spacecraft will be installed on the Unity module's Earth-facing port.
