Expedition 69 Northrop Grumman CRS-19 Cygnus Cargo Craft Launch

The unpiloted Northrop Grumman CRS-19 Cygnus cargo craft launched August 1 on an Antares rocket from the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, beginning a two-and-a-half day flight to the International Space Station. Dubbed the “SS Laurel Clark” for the late NASA astronaut who perished during the Columbia disaster, Cygnus is filled with food, fuel, and supplies, and will be captured by the station’s robotic arm and installed to the nadir port of the Unity module of the space station on August 4
