The Cygnus cargo ship is delivering supplies — and a pizza kit — to the International Space Station.
An unpiloted Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo ship carrying four tons of supplies and equipment caught up with the International Space Station early Friday to wrap up a smooth two-and-a-half-day rendezvous.
Northrop Grumman names its cargo ships after astronauts, and the latest vehicle honored Laurel Clark who was killed when the space shuttle Columbia broke apart during re-entry in 2003. Also on board: Fresh grapefruit, apples, oranges, cherry tomatoes and blueberries, along with a pizza kit, an assortment of cheeses and ice cream.
