  • NASA’s Northrop Grumman 21st Cargo Resupply Services Launch

    NASA’s Northrop Grumman 21st Cargo Resupply Services Launch

    Watch a delivery of cargo, science, and supplies launch to the International Space Station! NASA, Northrop Grumman, and SpaceX are now targeting no earlier than 11:02 a.m. EDT (1502 UTC) on Sunday, Aug. 4, for liftoff of Northrop Grumman’s uncrewed Cygnus spacecraft, carried on the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

    Scientific investigations traveling in the spacecraft include tests of water recovery technology and a process to produce blood and immune stem cells in microgravity, studies of the effects of spaceflight on engineered liver tissue and microorganism DNA, and live science demonstrations for students.

    Watch live as Northrop Grumman launches its Antares rocket and Cygnus spacecraft on a resupply mission to the International Space Station. Liftoff is targeted for 12:36 p.m. EST from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

    The “S.S. Katherine Johnson” Cygnus spacecraft is named after Katherine Johnson, a NASA mathematician whose love of numbers helped send astronauts into Earth’s orbit and then to the Moon! This mission will bring with it 8,000 pounds of cargo including several technology development demonstrations, crew supplies, and vehicle hardware to the orbiting laboratory.

    Watch a cargo spacecraft lift off from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on a resupply mission to the International Space Station! 🚀

    On Sat., Feb. 15 at 3:21 p.m. EST, Northrop Grumman’s 13th commercial resupply services mission launched on a resupply mission to the station. A previous launch attempt on Feb. 9 was scrubbed after off-nominal readings from a ground support sensor. The Cygnus cargo spacecraft, loaded with approximately 7,500 pounds of research, supplies and hardware, lifted off atop an Antares rocket from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport. This Cygnus spacecraft is named the S.S. Robert H. Lawrence in honor of the first African American to be selected as an astronaut.
