Installation of the solar array wings for the Orion spacecraft that will fly on the agency's Artemis I mission has begun inside the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. These will provide the spacecraft's power, propulsion, air, and water. Also, two seed carriers for PH-02 - a plant experiment featuring radishes - bound for the Advanced Plant Habitat on the International Space Station were planted this week. The seeds will fly aboard Northrop Grumman's 14th commercial resupply services mission. Liftoff of the Cygnus spacecraft is scheduled for Sept. 29 from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.
