CRS NG-20 preparing to launch cargo, science to ISS aboard Falcon 9
The NG-20 mission is being readied to fly the Cygnus spacecraft S.S. Patricia Hilliard Robertson to the International Space Station. However, as a first, it is flying atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 instead of an Antares rocket. This will be the first of three Cygnus missions to fly aboard Falcon 9 for Northrop Grumman to fulfill its cargo delivery contract while the new Antares 330 is under development.
