In these images, a Northop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft is integrated with the Antares rocket in the Horizontal Integration Facility at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Northrop Grumman’s 19th contracted cargo resupply mission with NASA to the International Space Station will deliver more than 8,200 pounds of science and research, crew supplies and vehicle hardware to the orbital laboratory and its crew. The CRS-19 Cygnus spacecraft is named after NASA astronaut Dr. Laurel Clark who flew aboard Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-107), and is scheduled to launch no earlier than 8:31 p.m. EDT, Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2023.
