Several days after Northrop Grumman’s uncrewed NG-23 Cygnus cargo spacecraft launches, the vehicle is expected to rendezvous with the International Space Station for capture and berthing.
Aboard this extended Cygnus spacecraft will be up to 5,000 kilograms of supplies for the ISS. It will be berthed to the space-facing port of the Unity module where it is expected to remain until early 2026.
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'.
