Science, Hardware Launch on NASA’s Northrop Grumman Cargo Mission

Got to see second stage from all the way up here in northern CT. Awesome to see even from 500+ mi away it was clear what it was.

This is the last Antares to fly with a Ukranian 1st stage and Russian engines.

The Cygnus is also bringing up a fresh batch of hardware, which is always interesting. Most of the payloads go way over my head and outside my area of expertise, but it's fun to dig into and read up on them.
