Meet NG-20: the S.S. Patricia “Patty“ Hilliard Robertson

We’re proud to name our NG-20 #Cygnus spacecraft in honor of doctor, aerobatic pilot and astronaut Patricia “Patty” Hilliard Robertson. It’s our tradition to name each Cygnus spacecraft after a significant figure in human spaceflight. Robertson was selected in honor of her accomplishments as a space medicine fellow, flight instructor and pilot, and her service as a NASA astronaut.
