About two days after launch, the NG-18 Cygnus spacecraft is expected to be captured and berthed to the International Space Station.
Its final location will be the Earth-facing port of the Unity module. Aboard is expected to be some 3,500 kilograms of supplies for the Expedition 68 crew.
NG-18 Cygnus is slated to remain attached to the ISS for 1-2 months.
Orbital Velocity is designed to be "living time capsule" about the International Space Station.
This project is an attempt to bridge an information gap between space agencies and companies, as well as a public that supports space endeavors with their tax dollars. Despite the importance of the space station, the general public doesn't always know what is happening aboard this amazing complex on a regular basis. Research being conducted isn't always readily available and what information is out there can sometimes be difficult to understand. Some people aren't even aware there is an active space program, let alone a space station.
Orbital Velocity hopes to change that by building a database of information through blogs, a website, small videos and longer documentary-like series'.
