Nov 19, 2018: Northrop Grumman’s unmanned Cygnus spacecraft successfully reached the International Space Station (ISS) this morning. Flying the 10th cargo mission under the Commercial Resupply Services (CRS1) contract with NASA, the S. S. John Young was captured via robotic arm at 12:31 UTC today after launching from Cape Canaveral on Nov 17th atop an Antares 230 rocket.
Odyssey personnel supported from the Mission Control Complex at Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX throughout the rendezvous and capture. Cygnus will remain attached to ISS for approximately three months before departing for a destructive atmospheric re-entry. Congratulations to the entire Cygnus team!
