On February 21, 2022, the US "Cygnus” CRS-17 (NG-17, the S. S. Piers Sellers) private unmanned supply spacecraft was docked to the International Space Station (ISS). The Cygnus spacecraft was grappled by a robotic arm at 09:44 UTC. The cargo spacecraft was docked to the station’s "Unity” module at 12:02 UTC. The spacecraft delivered about 3700 kilograms of supplies to the Space Station. It was the 17^th docking of a "Cygnus” spacecraft with the ISS. This is the 6^th flight of Cygnus under the CRS-2 contract.

On February 19, 2022 at 17:40 UTC the "Cygnus” privately owned U.S. unmanned supply spacecraft was launched from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS), a commercial space launch facility located at the southern tip of NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia, USA. The spacecraft was orbited by the “Antares-230” rocket-carrier. The "Cygnus” NG-17 (the S. S. Piers Sellers), previously known as CRS OA-17, unmanned supply spacecraft, built by U.S. space firm Orbital Sciences Corp., was orbited on its cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station. CRS means Commercial Resupply Services. The "Cygnus” NG-17 is the 17^th successful flight of the Orbital ATK uncrewed resupply spacecraft Cygnus.
