NG-20 Cygnus Pressurized Cargo Module Arrival

The Northrop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft’s pressurized cargo module (PCM) for the company’s 20th commercial resupply mission is moved by crane in its environmentally controlled shipping container in to the Space Station Processing Facility’s high bay at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Aug. 2, 2023. Cygnus will launch later this year atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy to the International Space Station. Cygnus will undergo prelaunch processing at Kennedy before it is transported to SpaceX’s integration facility.
