Due to a damaged spacecraft, NASA has discontinued a planned cargo mission for the International Space Station (ISS).
The spacecraft is a robotic cynus freiter, formed by Virginia -based company Northrop Gramman. This was determined in June to start several tons of food, fuel and other supply from the Space Coast of Florida to ISS.
On 5 March, however, NASA announced that the shipping container of Signus suffered damage during the launch site. The agency had said that the mission teams will inspect the Fetter for determining whether the cynus is still intact in the coming days. That work is now complete – and there is some bad news.
NASA officials said in an email statement on Wednesday afternoon (26 March), “After the initial assessment, the cargo module is also damaged.”
As a result, the June flight has been canceled. But the freiter cannot be placed on the ground forever.
NASA officials said, “The International Space Station Program will continue to work with the Northrop Gramman to assess that the cynus cargo module is capable of flying safely at the space station on the future flight.”
This news will not affect astronauts in the laboratory that revolves in any important way. NASA had already announced that more food and other consumable materials rode on the next cargo flight of SpaceX, determined to launch next month, if cynus could not fly on time.

The canceled cynus mission was known as NG -22, as it was going to be a 22nd contracted cargo mission that Northrop Gruman flew to NASA for ISS. According to NASA’s statement, the company will now work towards launching NS -23 before this decline. (NG -21 cystus currently has a berth in the ISS, but is about to depart tomorrow morning, 28 March).
SpaceX has 32 cargo flights under its belt, and also fly crude missions for ISS for NASA.
SpaceX’s dragon cargo (and crew) capsules are designed to escape from the classroom from the classroom to escape from the classroom, but the cynus is spending; It burns in the Earth’s atmosphere at the end of its orbital mission.
