IIRC-—There are 2 docking ports.

ONE fits ONLY Soviet machinery.

The other fits ONLY American machinery.

THIS IS A MULTI-BILLION CF.

“Do they have enough food on board to make it six months”

Northrop Grumman and Space X to the rescue.

Aug 4th

DULLES, Va. – Aug. 4, 2024 – Northrop Grumman Corporation’s (NYSE: NOC) Cygnus spacecraft was successfully launched to the International Space Station by SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida in support of the company’s 21st resupply mission (NG-21) under NASA’s Commercial Resupply Service-2 (CRS-2) contract.

NG-21 is carrying over 8,200 pounds of equipment, science experiments and supplies to crew aboard the space station.
Since 2023, Northrop Grumman has provided six reboost services while Cygnus was attached to the station – with the opportunity for more during this mission.
