@SpaceX @northropgrumman 3.2.1. LIFT OFF 🚀🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥🔥🚀🚀
This is the tenth flight of the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, Inmarsat I6-F2, CRS-28, Intelsat G-37, and four Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9 will land at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1).
@SpaceX @northropgrumman The alarm is set. Nice weather and temps by then. Daylight visibility so here's hoping I see SOMETHING.🤣👏🙏
UPDATE as per their site: "SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, January 30 for Falcon 9’s launch of Northrop Grumman’s 20th Commercial Resupply Services mission (NG-20) to the International Space Station from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

"The mission will also include a new therapeutic for cartilage regeneration that could lead to improved treatments for arthritis." More than 3000 experiments have been performed at the ISS (International Space Station). Wondering why something like this might be studied there and what past projects were. Current and future are listed in their public database. issnationallab.org/projects
