US and Italian astronauts performed a spacewalk.
On November 15, 2019, American astronaut Andrew Morgan and Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano performed a spacewalk. It was the first of four spacewalks to repair the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, also designated AMS-02AMS-02 (a cosmic ray detector), breezing through work to prep the device for invasive surgery to splice in new coolant pumps and extend the instrument’s life probing the composition of the universe. The EVA (extravehicular activity) lasted 6 hours and 39 minutes. This was the third spacewalk for Luca Parmitano and the fourth for Andrew Morgan.

“Cygnus” CRS NG-12 spacecraft docked to Space Station.
On November 4, 2019, the American "Cygnus” CRS-12 (NG-12 “S.S. Alan Bean”) private unmanned supply spacecraft was docked to the International Space Station (ISS). The Cygnus spacecraft was grappled by a robotic arm operated by American astronaut Jessica Meir inside the space station at 09:10 UTC. The cargo spacecraft was docked to the station’s "Unity” module at 11:21 UTC. The spacecraft delivered about 3705 kilograms of supplies to the Space Station. It was the 12th docking of a "Cygnus” spacecraft with the ISS.

“Cygnus NG-12” cargo spacecraft launched to Space Station.
On November 2, 2019 at 13:59 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-12 (previously known as CRS OA-12) 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-12 is the 12th successful flight of the Orbital ATK uncrewed resupply spacecraft Cygnus.
