NASA and Northrop Grumman are scheduled to launch a ทดลองเล่นสล็อตฟรี Cygnus cargo capsule loaded with research and supplies to the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday, February 20.The flight will fly off Pad 09A at the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia during the planned five-minute interval that opens at 12:36 PM EST (1736 GMT).The 139-foot (42.5-meter) Antares rocket will pull the Cygnus spacecraft into orbit, starting a two-day expedition to the International Space Station. Upon arrival at the space station, Cygnus will dock at the outpost of orbit using the station's robotic arm.Both the Cygnus spacecraft and the Antares rocket were built by Northrop Grumman, 

one of two companies delivering cargo to the International Space Station for NASA (SpaceX, the other) .Both launched in the Launch Pad on February 17, ahead of the launch. Debut on Saturday The mission, designated NG-15, marks the launch of the 14th operational delivery for the space station by Northrop Grumman and its predecessors, Orbital Sciences and Orbital ATK, as part of a commercial supply service contract with NASA.Northrop Grumman continues the tradition of naming the Cygnus spacecraft after a person who made significant contributions to human space flight. In this case, the silver spacecraft is named SS Katherine Johnson, according to the late mathematician whose computation caused John Glen to orbit Earth 59 years ago.
Cargo ships carry essential supplies and food for astronauts aboard the space station. But there's still plenty of research on this mission.Cygnus will deliver approximately 8,200 pounds (3,700 kilograms) of science experiments, supplies and hardware for the space station's Expedition 64 crew.The spacecraft will carry 30 cubes as part of a student outreach program for Virginia's commercial space flight agency, which will be operational shortly after launch.Usually, the cargo ships remain attached to the station for a month or two, allowing the crew to replenish their cargo to return to Earth, or for Cygnus with dumpster that will burn when the spacecraft re-enters the atmosphere. time
Hidden in the cargo truck, there will be several studies, including one that will look at the muscle strength in worms, which will look at the artificial retina print using space protein. Test new space computers and more.A Japanese astronaut and Expedition 64 crew named Soichinoguchi will use the station's robotic arm to fight swans, assisted by NASA teammate Mike Hopkins, then Mission Control in Houston. It will oversee the installation of the spacecraft on the Earth-facing ports of the station's Unity module.Cygnus will remain attached to the station for about two months before destroying it back into Earth's atmosphere.
