Space Station Live: Cygnus Prepped for Departure
Published on October 22, 2017
NASA Commentator Gary Jordan talks with Holly Vavrin, the International Space Station’s flight lead for the current mission of the Cygnus cargo vehicle, about the impending conclusion of the flight and the science the vehicle will host during its descent into the atmosphere after departure from the station next week. The cargo ship provided by Orbital ATK is due to be released from the station June 14, and will deploy a set of small satellites and host a purposely-set fire to study how fire propagates in the absence of gravity before carrying its cargo of trash into the atmosphere for destruction.
