Northrop Grumman Launches 19th Cargo Mission to the International Space Station
On August 1, 2023, Northrop Grumman successfully launched its 19th resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS) under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services-2 (CRS-2) contract. The Antares rocket carrying the Cygnus spacecraft lifted off from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia at 8:31 p.m. EDT.
The Cygnus spacecraft, named S.S. Laurel Clark, is carrying more than 8,200 pounds of cargo to the ISS, including food, water, clothing, science experiments, and spare parts. The spacecraft is expected to dock with the ISS on August 4.
This launch marks the 10th anniversary of Northrop Grumman's Cygnus missions to the ISS. Cygnus has delivered over 130,000 pounds of cargo to the ISS since its first mission in 2013.
The Cygnus spacecraft is a versatile and reliable vehicle that has played a critical role in keeping the ISS stocked with supplies. The spacecraft is also capable of hosting experiments in microgravity, such as NASA's Spacecraft Fire Safety Experiment (Saffire).
The successful launch of the S.S. Laurel Clark is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Northrop Grumman team. This mission will help to ensure that the ISS remains a thriving laboratory for scientific research and exploration.
