  Cygnus doesn’t just deliver supplies – it also carries experiments! Cygnus has carried up plants, human cells, cancer therapies and even 40 mice to understand how microgravity affects these typically Earth-bound entities.

  Two Glenn experiments are set to launch to the #InternationalSpaceStation aboard Northrop Grumman’s NG-19 Cygnus spacecraft on Aug.1! Saffire VI will explore how 🔥 acts in space. Flow Boiling & Condensation Experiment data may improve heating systems.

• Is NG-19 still carrying cubesats? There were three cubesats - 2 from Virginia universities and one from CU Aerospace - on board last I understood. They were supposed to be launched into separate orbits. However, have heard some chatter that NASA may not be allowing independent cubesat deploys from Cygnus anymore. Is this true?

• Note the typo in the article: "Liftoff is expected to happen at 8:31 AM EDT on Aug. 1 (00:31 UTC on Aug. 2)."
  
  Should read 8:31 PM

• That typo is gone now, it’s been corrected. Thanks.

  Fire in space, neuron cell cultures, water sanitization — these are just a few of the experiments launching to the
  @Space_Station at 8:31 pm EDT (Wed., Aug. 2, 12:31 am UTC). Also on board? Fresh fruit, a pizza kit, & assorted cheeses for the astronauts!

• NASA's cargo mass breakdown, and other highlights. Though no clarification on CubeSats, unless I missed something when skimming through it.
