Watch a cargo spacecraft dock with the International Space Station early on Aug. 4

The International Space Station (ISS) is about to get a visit from a familiar guest. Northrop Grumman's Cygnus cargo spacecraft will dock at the station on Friday (Aug. 4), at 5:54 a.m. EDT (0954 GMT). This won't be a social visit, however. NG-19 Cygnus, also known as the SS Laurel Clark, named for the fallen space shuttle Columbia astronaut, will be hauling 8,200 pounds (3,700 kilograms) of cargo for the ISS. The whole rendezvous will be viewable live via NASA TV starting at 4:30 a.m. EDT (0830 GMT). Watch it live here courtesy of the agency. More
