Solar Arrays Successfully Deployed on Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus Spacecraft
Micheala Sosby Posted on November 2, 2019
The solar arrays have successfully deployed on Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus spacecraft that is its way to deliver about 8,200 pounds of science and research, crew supplies, and hardware to the International Space Station. This is the company’s 12th contracted cargo resupply mission with NASA.
This mission, designated NG-12, will be in orbit at the same time as its predecessor, the NG-11 Cygnus spacecraft, which launched in April on an extended duration flight. The NG-12 Cygnus spacecraft will remain at the space station until January before it disposes of several thousand pounds of trash through its fiery reentry into Earth’s atmosphere. The ability to fly two vehicles at once further demonstrates the robustness of Cygnus to support the goals of NASA’s ambitious missions.
Coverage of the spacecraft’s approach and arrival to the orbiting laboratory will begin Monday, Nov. 4 at 2:45 a.m. on NASA Television and the agency’s website. Expedition 61 astronauts Jessica Meir and Christina Koch of NASA will use the space station’s robotic arm to capture Cygnus at around 4:10 a.m., while NASA’s Andrew Morgan monitors telemetry. The spacecraft is scheduled to stay at the space station until January.

Thanks everyone for their advice on viewing the launch from the Old NASA Ferry Pier! Me and my friends had a great time, and I'll certainly be back next time I get to view a launch.
I did get some pictures, but unfortunately my camera setup isn't as sophisticated as most others here. So while they're certainly not world-class photos, I'm pretty happy with what I got (though I did forget to clean the lenses before the launch).
Although, if anyone has any recommendations for long-range photography like this on a hobbyist budget, I'd certainly take them!

Did you almost knock someone's camera do-dad into the bay?

You mean a go-pro like thing? Haha yes that was me! Thank goodness it landed safely, or I'd have been fishing in that river muck for a good bit. I'm guessing you were on the old dock as well? Were you the guy that informed me of space flight insiders?

NASA TV Broadcasts Cygnus Arrival at Station on Monday
Mark Garcia Posted on November 3, 2019
A Northrop Grumman cargo ship carrying about 8,200 pounds of science and research investigations, supplies, and hardware is set to arrive to the International Space Station early Monday morning.
The uncrewed Cygnus spacecraft launched at 9:59 a.m. EDT Saturday, Nov. 2 on an Antares rocket from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.
When Cygnus, dubbed the S.S. Alan Bean, arrives to the space station on Monday, Nov. 4, Expedition 61 astronauts Jessica Meir and Christina Koch of NASA will use the space station’s robotic arm to capture Cygnus, and NASA’s Andrew Morgan will monitor telemetry. After Cygnus’ capture, ground controllers will command the station’s arm to rotate and install it on the bottom of the station’s Unity module for a two-month stay.
Live coverage will begin on NASA TV at 2:45 a.m. and return to the air at 6:30 a.m. for installation coverage. Watch at
