On October 5, 2020, the American "Cygnus” CRS-14 (NG-14, the S.S. Kalpana Chawla) private unmanned supply spacecraft was docked to the International Space Station (ISS). The Cygnus spacecraft was grappled by a robotic arm at 09:32 UTC. The cargo spacecraft was docked to the station’s "Unity” module at 12:01 UTC. The spacecraft delivered about 3600 kilograms of supplies to the Space Station. It was the 14^th docking of a "Cygnus” spacecraft with the ISS. This is the 3rd flight of Cygnus under the CRS-2 contract.

On October 3, 2020 at 01:13 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-14 (the S.S. Kalpana Chawla), previously known as CRS OA-14, 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-14 is the 14^th successful flight of the Orbital ATK uncrewed resupply spacecraft Cygnus.

On August 26, 2020 American astronaut Gerald Paul Carr passed away. He was 88. He was Commander of the “Skylab-4” mission, the third and final crewed visit to the US “Skylab” orbital station. At that time, it was the new world record of space flight duration of 84 days.

On August 20, 2020, the Japanese HTV "Kounotori-9” unmanned supply spacecraft was deorbited. The spacecraft reentered Earth's atmosphere at 07:07 UTC. Non-burnt fragments of the spacecraft sank in the Pacific. It was the last spacecraft of the “HTV” series. Currently, a new supply spacecraft of the “HTV-X” series is being built in Japan. Its task, like its predecessor, will be to deliver cargo to the ISS.

On August 18, 2020, the Japanese "HTV Kounotori-9” unmanned supply spacecraft departed the International Space Station. First HTV-9 was disengaged with the space station's robotic arm from a docking port on the Harmony module at 13:51 UTC. At 17:36 UTC the spacecraft was released.

On August 2, 2020 at 18:48 UTC the US Crew Dragon (Demo-2) spacecraft splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, USA. The spacecraft delivered from the ISS to Earth two American astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken. They spent in space 63 days, 23 hours and 25 minutes. Three other ISS crew members - Russian cosmonauts Anatoli Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner as well as American astronaut Christopher Cassidy remained in orbit aboard the International Space Station. It was the first piloted flight of the “Crew Dragon” spacecraft (it is also known as “Drag ... Read more »

On August 1, 2020 at 23:34 UTC the US Crew Dragon (Demo-2 mission) spacecraft undocked from the International Space Station to deliver to Earth two American astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken.

On July 23, 2020 at 17:44 UTC the Russian “Progress MS-15” unmanned supply spacecraft docked to the International Space Station. The spacecraft was docked to the Russian “Pirs” module. The spacecraft delivered about 2500 kilograms of cargo for the ISS crew.

On July 23, 2020 at 14:26 UTC the “Progress MS-15” unmanned supply spacecraft was launched from Baykonur Cosmodrome to the International Space Station. The spacecraft was orbited by the “Soyuz-2.1a” rocket-carrier.

On July 21, 2020 American astronauts Christopher Cassidy and Robert Behnken performed the spacewalk. The EVA lasted 5 hours and 29 minutes. It was the 10th spacewalk for both astronauts.
