Production and integration of Cygnus spacecraft is performed in Dulles, Virginia. The Cygnus service module is mated with the pressurized cargo module at the launch site, and mission operations are conducted from control centers at Dulles, Virginia and Houston, Texas. [9] This is the ninth flight of the Enhanced-sized Cygnus PCM. [11]
Cygnus NG-18 was the seventh Cygnus mission under the Commercial Resupply Services-2 contract. Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems confirmed on 23 February 2021 that Thales Alenia Space of Turin, Italy, will fabricate two additional Pressurized Cargo Modules (PCMs) for a pair of forthcoming Commercial Resupply Services-2 missions.
On May 22, 1989 the Japanese Ginga Team discovered a new X-ray source that was catalogued as GS 2023+338. [14] This source was quickly linked to V404 Cygni, which was discovered to be in outburst again as Nova Cygni 1989. [15] [16] Follow-up studies showed a previously unnoticed outburst in 1956. There was also a possible brightening in 1979. [17]
Tau Cygni, Latinised from τ Cygni, is a binary star system in the constellation Cygnus, approximately 69 light years away from Earth. [4] This visual binary system has a period of 49.6 years. [2] The main star, 4th magnitude GJ 822.1 A, is a yellowish white subgiant star of the spectral type F2IV.
Albireo is the star in the head of the constellation of Cygnus (bottom). β Cygni ( Latinised to Beta Cygni ) is the system's Bayer designation . The brighter of the two components is designated β¹ Cygni or Beta Cygni A and the fainter β² Cygni or Beta Cygni B .
