NASA to Cover Northrop Grumman CRS-24 Spacecraft Departure

Northrop Grumman's Cygnus XL spacecraft will undertake its final mission with the Commercial Resupply Services-24 (CRS-24) program on Friday, October 9th. The spacecraft has successfully delivered over 11,000 pounds of vital supplies, including scientific experiments and other cargo, to the International Space Station throughout its operation for NASA. This marks the culmination of a significant effort in supporting ongoing research and operations aboard the orbiting laboratory. Live coverage of the undocking and subsequent departure is set to begin at 12:30 PM EDT from NASA’s Johnson Space Center. The event represents another successful transfer of resources by Northrop Grumman under the CRS-24 contract.
