NASA Science on Cygnus CRS-23 Cargo Mission | International Space Station

Thanks to Northrop Grumman's Cygnus XL cargo spacecraft design, NG-23 will be its largest delivery yet. Over 11,000 lbs of supplies and experiments will be brought to the International Space Station. 

Atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, NASA and Northrop Grumman are preparing to launch the company’s next cargo mission to the orbiting laboratory no earlier than 6:11 p.m. EDT on September 14, 2025—sending science to support Artemis missions to the Moon, human exploration of Mars and beyond, while seeking improvements for life on Earth. More than 15 payloads sponsored by the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory are set to launch from Cape Canaveral this Sunday. These projects could help improve medicine production, make the orbit around Earth safer, and enhance technology used in television, computer, and smartphone screens. The research aboard Cygnus aims to reduce harmful microbes, improve medication production, manage fuel pressure, and refine semiconductor crystals for next-generation technologies.
