Northrop Grumman Cargo Space Station Mission
Space discoveries:A new satellite could help scientists unravel some of Earth's mysteries. Here's how.
NASA, Northrop Grumman and SpaceX are working in tandem on the mission, which will deliver 8,200 pounds of cargo including science investigations, supplies, and equipment to the International Space Station.
This delivery carries equipment to enable ongoing research, such as technology for the first surgical robot on the space station, a 3D cartilage cell culture that maintains healthy cartilage in a lower gravity and a metal 3D printer that will test the capability for printing small metal parts.
The Cygnus cargo spacecraft will be carried on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and is set to arrive at the space station on Thursday, Feb 1 after launching Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Tuesday, Jan. 30.
The Cygnus spacecraft, called the S.S. Patricia “Patty” Hilliard Robertson after the former NASA astronaut, is scheduled to remain at the space station until May, after which it will depart and harmlessly burn up in Earth's atmosphere.
