Posted: Fri, Feb 26, 2021, 9:59 AM ET (1459 GMT)
A Cygnus cargo spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station Monday after its launch Saturday. A Northrop Grumman Antares rocket lifted off at 12:36 pm EST (1736 GMT) Saturday from Wallops Island, Virginia, placing the Cygnus NG-15 spacecraft into orbit. The spacecraft, carrying about 3,800 kilograms of supplies and equipment, was captured by the station's robotic arm at 4:38 am EST (0938 GMT) Monday and berthed to the station's Unity module nearly three hours later. The Cygnus will remain at the station for about three months.
