The United States space Exploration technology company SpaceX plans to launch Northrop Grumman's Swan cargo ship to the International Space Station on January 30, local time, using a Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mission is a commercial NG-20 resupply mission that will deliver more than 8,200 pounds of supplies, equipment and scientific experiments.

According to previous news, the launch is one day later than originally planned. The spacecraft will stay at the space station for about six months, delivering supplies and conducting scientific experiments. At the end of the mission, the spacecraft will carry the waste back to Earth and incinerate it in the atmosphere. The partnership marks a further deepening of SpaceX's partnership with Northrop Grumman in space logistics.

Cyrus Darra, vice president and general manager of Tactical Space Systems at Northrop Grumman, explained the importance of the mission. He stressed that the launch of the Swan cargo spacecraft is of great significance for maintaining the normal operation of the International Space Station and promoting space scientific research.
