"SpaceX Launches Cygnus Cargo Spacecraft to ISS from Florida"

SpaceX is set to launch Northrop Grumman's Cygnus cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station on Jan. 30, carrying over 8,200 pounds of supplies and scientific hardware, including experiments on cartilage growth and 3D printing of metals in microgravity. The spacecraft is named after NASA astronaut Patty Hilliard Robertson and is scheduled to arrive at the ISS on Feb. 1. It will spend about six months docked to the ISS before re-entering Earth's atmosphere for destruction, during which an experiment will gather data on spacecraft thermal protection. The launch can be watched live on Space.com or NASA's coverage.
