At 5:20 a.m. EST, NASA astronaut Nicole Mann, with NASA astronaut Josh Cassada acting as backup, captured Northrop Grumman\u2019s Cygnus spacecraft using the International Space Station\u2019s Canadarm2 robotic arm. Mission control in Houston will actively command the arm to rotate Cygnus to its installation orientation and then to guide it in for installation on the station\u2019s Unity module Earth-facing port.<\/p>\n

NASA Television, the NASA app, and agency\u2019s website will provide live coverage of the spacecraft\u2019s installation beginning at 7:15 a.m.<\/p>\n

The Cygnus spacecraft launched Monday on an Antares rocket from NASA\u2019s Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia at 5:32 a.m. This is Northrop Grumman\u2019s 18th commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station for NASA. The Cygnus spacecraft is carrying a supply of 8,200 pounds of scientific investigations and cargo to the orbiting laboratory.<\/p>\n

The spacecraft is named the S.S. Sally Ride in honor of the late NASA astronaut, physicist, and first American woman to fly in space.<\/p>\n
