Cygnus arrives at ISS
Posted: Sat, Apr 20, 2019, 9:59 AM ET (1359 GMT) 
A Cygnus cargo spacecraft has arrived at the International Space Station less than two days after its launch from Virginia. The Cygnus, launched Wednesday on an Antares rocket from Wallops Island, was grappled by the station's robotic arm at 5:28 am EDT (0928 GMT) Friday and was berthed to the station's Unity module two hours later. The spacecraft is carrying nearly three and a half metric tons of experiments, supplies and other cargo for the station, and will remain there for three months before departing for an extended free-flying mission.
