Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus spacecraft, dubbed the S.S. Alan Bean, was captured with the International Space Station’s robotic Canadarm2 by NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Christina Koch, on 4 November 2019, at 09:10 UTC (04:10 EST). For the Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) NG-12 mission, Cygnus delivers about 3719 kilograms (8200 pounds) of cargo to the International Space Station and is scheduled to arrive on 4 November 2019. The NG-12 Cygnus Cargo Delivery Spacecraft is named in honor of the American astronaut Alan Bean, the pilot of the Apollo 12 Lunar Module.
