NASA has opened media accreditation for its next commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station, the agency announced. A Northrop Grumman Cygnus XL spacecraft is set to launch in November on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket for the mission known as NASA's Northrop Grumman CRS-25.

Liftoff is targeted for no earlier than 10:49 a.m. EST on Sunday, Nov. 29, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. After launch, astronauts aboard the station will use the Canadarm2 robotic arm to capture Cygnus and install it to the Unity module's Earth-facing port for cargo unloading. The spacecraft will remain at the station until May 2027, according to NASA. The agency says this is the company's 25th spacecraft built to deliver supplies to the station under its contract.

Credentialing for prelaunch and launch activities is open to U.S. media, with an application deadline of 11:59 p.m. EST on Thursday, Nov. 12. Along with food, supplies and equipment, NASA says Cygnus will carry experiments including hardware to manufacture DNA-inspired particles in space, a study on predicting cancer spread, human muscle cells and medications for muscle loss research, and a compact radiation sensor.
