Cygnus NG-14 var en flygning av en av företaget Northrop Grummans Cygnus rymdfarkoster till Internationella rymdstationen (ISS). Farkosten sköts upp med en Antares 230+ raket, från Wallops Flight Facility i Virginia, den 3 oktober 2020.
Farkosten kallas S.S. Kalpana Chawla och är uppkallad efter den avlidna amerikanska astronauten Kalpana Chawla.
Målet med flygningen är att leverera material och förnödenheter till ISS.
Den 5 oktober 2020 dockades farkosten med rymdstationen med hjälp av Canadarm2.
Farkosten lämnade rymdstationen den 6 januari 2021. Den brann som planerat upp i jordens atmosfär den 26 januari 2021.

The Expedition 37 crew captured Cygnus with the Canadarm2 at 7 a.m. EDT Sunday, Sept. 29, 2013, and attached it to the Harmony node at 8:44 a.m.
A Progress supply ship linked up to the orbiting International Space Station (ISS) at 3:48 GMT, November 18, bringing Expedition 1 commander William M. Shepherd, pilot Yuri P.
Gidzenko and flight engineer Sergei K. Krikalev two tons of food, clothing, hardware and holiday gifts from their families. The photograph was taken with a 35mm camera and the film was later handed over to the STS-97 crew members
for return to Earth and subsequent processing.Backdropped by a cloud-covered part of Earth, the Orbital Sciences' Cygnus cargo craft approaches the International Space Station, photographed by an Expedition 40 crew member. The two spacecraft converged at 6:36 a.m. (EDT) on July 16, 2014.
ISS021-E-017623 (30 Oct. 2009) --- Backdropped by a cloud-covered part of Earth, the unpiloted Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), filled with trash and unneeded items, departs from the International Space Station. European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne, Expedition 21 commander; NASA astronaut Nicole Stott and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk, both flight engineers, used the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to grab the HTV cargo craft and unberth it from the Harmony node's nadir port. The HTV was successfully unberthed at 10:18 a.m. (CDT) on Oct. 30, 2009, and released from the station's Canadarm2 at 12:32 p.m.
This image, photographed by one of the Expedition 42 crew members aboard the International Space Station, shows the SpaceX Dragon cargo craft approaching on Jan. 12 2015 for its grapple and berthing and the start of a month attached to the complex. Dragon carried more than 2 ½ tons of supplies and experiments to the station.
ISS026-E-037172 (24 Feb. 2011) --- Surrounded by the blackness of space, the European Space Agency's "Johannes Kepler" Automated Transfer Vehicle-2 (ATV-2) approaches the International Space Station. Docking of the two spacecraft occurred at 10:59 a.m. (EST) on Feb. 24, 2011.
