NASA Commercial Resupply Mission NG-19

Northrop Grumman is celebrating a decade of commercial resupply services missions! To date, Cygnus has delivered approximately 130,000 lbs. of critical cargo, supplies, equipment and experiments to the astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

The NG-19 Cygnus spacecraft launched aboard our Antares rocket on Aug. 1 from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) Pad 0A on Wallops Island, Virginia.
For this mission, Cygnus will once again host NASA’s Spacecraft Fire Safety Experiment (SAFFIRE), enabling scientists to continue studying the way fire behaves in microgravity. The experiment will be conducted after Cygnus has departed the station as part of the NG-19’s secondary mission.
