The Cygnus spacecraft, named S.S. Richard “Dick” Scobee, has departed from the International Space Station (ISS) after being released from the robotic arm.
The release occurred above the Atlantic Ocean, with the Cygnus spacecraft being detached from the Earth-facing port of the ISS's Unity module.
The Cygnus spacecraft arrived at the ISS on August 6, 2024, and delivered approximately 8,200 pounds of supplies, scientific investigations, and other cargo for NASA.
The spacecraft is set to perform a controlled destructive re-entry by burning up in Earth's atmosphere after a deorbit engine firing on March 30.
