Cygnus is an expendable American automated cargo spacecraft designed for International Space Station (ISS) resupply missions. It was initially developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation with financial support from NASA under the Commercial …

The Cygnus design is the foundational basis for spacecraft to support the next generation of space exploration missions, from delivery and logistics services to commercial space stations and other commercial low-Earth orbit ventures, to deep space logistics to the moon and beyond.

Jul 1, 2021 · The Cygnus spacecraft is an uncrewed cargo ship that brings supplies and equipment to the International Space Station (ISS) and then takes refuse away. It is operated by Northrop Grumman...

NG-21 is the twenty-first flight of the Cygnus, an expendable American cargo spacecraft used for International Space Station (ISS) logistics missions, that launched on 4 August 2024. It is operated by Northrop Grumman under a Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA.

On Jan. 9, 2014, Orbital Sciences Corporation, one of two companies selected initially to provide cargo transportation services, launched the first operational mission of its Cygnus spacecraft.

Aug 6, 2024 · Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus cargo craft has arrived at its new home for the next six months and the International Space Station residents have begun unloading some of its 8,200 pounds of science and supplies. NASA Flight Engineer Matthew Dominick captured Cygnus with the Canadarm2 robotic arm at 3:11 a.m. EDT on Tuesday following its automated …

Northrop Grumman is a leading innovator of logistics capabilities in space. The compa-ny’s Cygnus spacecraft has a proven track record of cargo delivery missions and can carry out additional logistics operations to support mission needs in low-Earth orbit or deep space.

With its 27 cubic meters of pressurized cargo space — slightly smaller than the volume of a 20-foot U-Haul truck — Cygnus is a multipurpose workhorse, enabling trailblazing science to occur 250 miles above Earth. We have completed twenty cargo resupply missions, with the next one taking place soon.

NG-18 was the eighteenth flight of the Northrop Grumman robotic resupply spacecraft Cygnus and its seventeenth flight to the International Space Station (ISS) under the Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-2) contract with NASA. The mission successfully launched on 7 …

Aug 5, 2024 · The Cygnus spacecraft completed the deployment of its two solar arrays at 2:21 p.m. the same day. The Cygnus spacecraft has completed two delta velocity burns, and it remains on track for a capture by the space station’s robotic arm slated for 3:10 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 6. The spacecraft is in a safe trajectory, and all other systems are ...
