The mission
The Exploration Company's Nyx spacecraft, a reusable space vehicle designed to transport cargo to and from low Earth orbit, will fly its first demonstration mission for the European Space Agency (ESA) under the ALADDIN (Autonomous LEO Accelerated Demo Docking to ISS Node) initiative. The spacecraft will demonstrate European-based space station resupply capability by rendezvous and dock to the International Space Station (ISS), then undock and return to Earth.
