Expedition 69 Northrop Grumman Cygnus Cargo Craft Secured to Space Station - 2023

Expedition 69 Northrop Grumman Cygnus
Cargo Craft Secured to Space Station -
Loaded with food, fuel, and supplies, the unpiloted
Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo craft arrived at the
International Space Station Aug. 4 where it was installed
to the nadir port of the Unity module. Cygnus launched
from the agency's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on
Aug. 1 atop an Antares rocket and will remain docked to
the space station for approximately two months on the
company's 19th resupply mission to the International
Space Station for NASA. Northrop Grumman named the
Cygnus spacecraft the S.S. Laurel Clark after late NASA
astronaut Laurel Clark. Clark was a crew member of
NASA's STS-107 mission aboard space shuttle Columbia,
successfully conducting 80 experiments while logging 15
days in space. She and her fellow STS-107 crew members
tragically lost their lives when Columbia did not survive its
re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.
