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.
A possible software issue, together with incorrect orientation of the vehicle, resulted in burn not happening. Docking was rescheduled to a backup 2-day rendezvous process which worked without further issues. [37] October 28: The Cygnus Orb-3 cargo spacecraft fails to orbit after its Antares rocket explodes.
It had the following improvements: [2] [3] [4] New external compartment that enables it to deploy satellites. Each compartment can hold up to four launch containers. First time installed on Progress MS-03. Enhanced redundancy thanks to the addition of a backup system of electrical motors for the docking and sealing mechanism.
