NASA is inviting U.S. media to cover the launch of the Northrop Grumman CRS-25 mission, set to deliver supplies, science investigations, and equipment to the International Space Station (ISS) in November 2026. The mission, designated as NASA's Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services 25 (CRS-25), is scheduled for liftoff no earlier than 10:49 a.m. EST on Sunday, November 29, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The spacecraft, a Cygnus XL built by Northrop Grumman, will be captured by astronauts using the Canadarm2 robotic arm and installed at the Unity module's Earth-facing port for cargo unloading. The Cygnus XL will remain at the ISS until May 2027, carrying a variety of science experiments, including materials for drug delivery research, cancer treatment studies, human muscle cell investigations, and radiation sensors for improved crew safety.
Media accreditation for prelaunch and launch activities is open to U.S. citizens, with the application deadline being 11:59 p.m. EST on Thursday, November 12. Credentialed media will receive confirmation emails upon approval.
