This Cygnus spacecraft — named the S.S. Patricia “Patty” Hilliard Robertson, after a NASA astronaut who died in a 2001 plane crash — launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on Jan. 30. The liftoff kicked off the NG-20 mission, so named because it’s the 20th that a Cygnus has flown to the ISS for NASA.
