SpaceX launched an upgraded Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo ship to the International Space Station, carrying over 5 tons of supplies, including holiday treats and spare parts, on a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral. The spacecraft is scheduled to be captured early Wednesday, marking the third of at least four flights under a new partnership, with the Cygnus XL providing increased cargo capacity.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch a Dragon cargo spacecraft carrying 5,000 pounds of supplies to the International Space Station on August 24, marking SpaceX's 33rd mission for NASA's Commercial Resupply Services. The mission includes delivering experiments and supplies, and performing a reboost demonstration to help maintain the station's orbit, with docking scheduled for August 25.
NASA will provide live coverage of the launch and docking of the Roscosmos Progress 86 cargo spacecraft, which will deliver three tons of supplies to the International Space Station. The spacecraft is scheduled to launch on December 1 and will dock with the station on December 3. NASA's coverage will be available on various platforms, including NASA Television and the agency's website. The cargo will remain on the station for approximately six months before the spacecraft undocks and safely re-enters Earth's atmosphere.
