Supply Ship Delivers Cargo to Space Station Despite Engine Glitch
Чтение
A supply ship went to the space station. The ship was late by one day because of a problem. The engine stopped working too early during its journey.
Astronauts used a robot arm to grab the capsule. They caught it while flying over Africa. The capsule was called Cygnus, made by Northrop Grumman.
The shipment weighs 11,000 pounds or 5,000 kilograms. It should have arrived on Wednesday. The engine stopped because the software setting was too careful.
This Cygnus is bigger than the older models. It has food, science tools, and toilet equipment. NASA hires Northrop Grumman and SpaceX to send supplies to the station.
Northrop Grumman named the capsule S.S. Willie McCool. He was a pilot who died in 2003. His space shuttle Columbia had a bad accident.
