Cygnus NG-15 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 20 februari 2021.[2]

Farkosten kallas S.S. Katherine Johnson och är uppkallad efter den avlidna amerikanska matematikern Katherine Johnson.

Målet med flygningen var att leverera material och förnödenheter till ISS.

Den 22 februari 2021 dockades farkosten med rymdstationen med hjälp av Canadarm2.

Farkosten lämnade rymdstationen den 29 juni 2021. Den brann som planerat upp i jordens atmosfär den 2 juli 2021.

Canadarm 2 reaches out to Cygnus 1-crop.jpg
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.

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.
