Cygnus NG-12 Launch Video

The Cygnus NG-12 resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS) was launched from the NASA MARS launch facility in Virginia. The mission was carried out by Northrop Grumman, a leading aerospace and defense technology company, using their Antares rocket. The Cygnus spacecraft was filled with a variety of supplies and equipment for the astronauts on board the ISS, including food, water, and scientific experiments. The successful launch marked another important step in the ongoing collaboration between NASA and private industry to support the ISS and advance our understanding of space.
