SUMMARY:Northrop Grumman S.S. Sally Ride Cargo Launch to International Space Station
DESCRIPTION:NASA and commercial cargo provider Northrop Grumman are targeting 5:50 a.m. EST\, Sunday\, Nov. 6\, for launch of the company’s 18th resupply mission to the International Space Station. \nLive coverage of the launch from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island\, Virginia\, will air on NASA Television. Watch live beginning at 5:30 a.m. on the agency’s website at: http://www.nasa.gov/live \nLoaded with approximately 8\,200 pounds of research\, crew supplies\, and hardware\, Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus cargo spacecraft will launch on the company’s Antares rocket from Virginia Space’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport. It will arrive at the space station on Tuesday\, Nov. 8. \nNASA TV coverage of rendezvous and capture will begin at 4:30 a.m. EST followed by installation coverage at 7:30 a.m. At about 5:50 a.m.\, Expedition 68 NASA astronaut Nicole Mann will capture Cygnus\, with NASA astronaut Josh Cassada acting as backup. After Cygnus capture\, ground commands will be sent from mission control at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston for the station’s arm to rotate and install it on the station’s Unity module Earth-facing port. \nHighlights of hardware and space station research facilitated by samples and equipment aboard this Cygnus are: \n– a facility and study that attempt to advance the 3D biological printing of human tissue in space\n– a study taking advantage of microgravity to better understand catastrophic mudflows that can occur after wildfires\nUganda and Zimbabwe’s first satellites developed as a part of the BIRDS program\, an interdisciplinary project for non-space faring countries\n– an investigation into how microgravity influences ovary function\n– an experiment that studies if changes space-grown plants undergo to adapt to microgravity can be transmitted through seeds to the next generation\n– hardware to be installed outside the station in preparation for the installation of Roll-Out Solar Arrays \nThe Cygnus spacecraft is scheduled to remain at the space station until late January 2023 when it will depart\, disposing of several tons of trash during a destructive re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere. \nThis Cygnus is dubbed the S.S. Sally Ride in honor of late NASA astronaut\, physicist\, and first American woman to fly in space\, Sally Ride. Ride spent 14 days across two space shuttle missions performing science experiments\, making observations of Earth\, deploying satellites\, and conducting technology demonstrations. She was an advocate for diversity and representation in science and dedicated much of her life to inspiring young people\, particularly young women\, to pursue careers in science\, technology\, engineering\, and math fields. \nPrelaunch Briefing \nA prelaunch briefing will be held at 1 p.m. EDT\, Saturday\, Nov. 5\, and may be viewed on NASA Television and the agency’s website. Participants will include: \n– Joel Montalbano\, manager\, International Space Station Program\, NASA\n– Heidi Parris\, associate program scientist for the International Space Station\n– Steve Krein\, vice president\, Civil and Commercial Space\, Northrop Grumman\n– Kurt Eberly\, director\, Space Launch Programs\, Northrop Grumman\n– Roosevelt “Ted” Mercer\, Jr.\, CEO and executive director\, Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority\n– Jeff Reddish\, range chief\, NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility \nAccredited media may attend the briefing in-person at the NASA Wallops Visitor Center. Media who wish to participate by phone must contact Kiana Raines at kiana.a.raines@nasa.gov by noon on Friday\, Nov. 4\, for dial-in information. \nAdditionally\, media and the public can submit questions on social media using #AskNASA. \nNASA TV Coverage \nSunday\, November 6: \n5:30 a.m. – Launch coverage begins\n5:50 a.m. – Launch window opens\nTuesday\, November 8: \n4:30 a.m. – Rendezvous coverage begins\n5:50 a.m. – Capture of Cygnus with the space station’s robotic arm\n7:30 a.m. – Cygnus installation operations coverage\nPublic Participation \nMembers of the public can also participate in the journey through a variety of activities including registering to attend this launch virtually. NASA’s virtual guest program for this mission also includes curated launch resources\, notifications about related opportunities or changes\, and a stamp for the NASA virtual guest passport following a successful launch. \nLive coverage and countdown commentary will begin at 5:30 a.m. EST Sunday\, Nov. 6\, and air on NASA Television and the agency’s website\, as well as YouTube\, Twitter\, and NASA’s App. \nLearn more about Northrop Grumman commercial resupply missions at: https://www.nasa.gov/northropgrumman

SUMMARY:NASA TV Coverage for Crewed Soyuz Mission to Space Station
DESCRIPTION:NASA will provide live coverage of key events as a NASA astronaut and two cosmonauts launch and dock to the International Space Station on Wednesday\, Sept. 21. \nNASA astronaut Frank Rubio and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin will launch aboard the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 9:54 a.m. EDT Wednesday\, Sept. 21 (6:54 p.m. Baikonur time). Coverage will begin at 9 a.m. on NASA Television’s Public Channel\, the NASA app\, and on the agency’s website. \nNASA also will air continuous coverage of an Artemis I tanking test on NASA TV’s Media Channel beginning at 7:15 a.m. \nSoyuz MS-22 launch and key events as well of coverage of the Artemis I tanking test will be available to watch online at: https://www.nasa.gov/live \nAfter a two-orbit\, three-hour journey\, the Soyuz will dock to the space station’s Rassvet module at 1:11 p.m. About two hours after docking\, hatches between the Soyuz and the station will open and the crew members will greet each other. \nOnce aboard station\, the trio will join Expedition 67 Commander Oleg Artemyev\, cosmonauts Denis Matveev and Sergey Korsakov of Roscosmos\, as well as NASA astronauts Bob Hines\, Kjell Lindgren\, and Jessica Watkins\, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti. Rubio\, Prokopyev\, and Petelin will spend six months aboard the orbital laboratory. \nThis will be Prokopyev’s second flight into space and the first for Rubio and Petelin. \nMission coverage is as follows (all times Eastern): \nWednesday\, Sept. 21 \n9 a.m. – Coverage begins on NASA TV’s Public Channel for 9:54 a.m. launch. \n12:15 p.m. – Coverage begins on NASA TV’s Public Channel for 1:11 p.m. docking. \n3:30 p.m. – Coverage begins on NASA TV for hatch opening and welcome remarks. \n
