WASHINGTON (Reuters) -NASA on Wednesday night resumed plans to dock a Northrop Grumman-built cargo craft with the International Space Station after resolving an early engine-shutdown issue it said was caused by a “conservative safeguard” in the vehicle’s software settings.
Docking of the Cygnus XL spacecraft, launched on Sunday carrying 11,000 pounds (4,990 kg) of cargo and science supplies, is set for around 7:18 a.m. EDT Thursday, the U.S. space agency said.
