A combined effort will result in NASA and their commercial partner, Northrop Grumman, launching the Antares rocket, carrying the Cygnus cargo spacecraft, named the SS John Young.
Loaded with 7,500 pounds of research, crew supplies and hardware, this is the tenth commercial resupply mission for Northrop Grumman. About 70 minutes after launch, an automated command will initiate deployment of the spacecraft’s solar arrays. Full deployment will take approximately 30 minutes.
The Cygnus spacecraft is scheduled to remain at the space station until February 12, 2019, when it will depart, taking with it several tons of trash, and deploy several CubeSats before its fiery reentry into Earth’s atmosphere.
