** Northrop Grumman 11 Cygnus Release August 06, 2019

An unpiloted Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo spacecraft departed the International Space Station August 6, bound for several months of free-flying scientific investigation support before it is deorbited later this year. Expedition 60 Flight Engineers Nick Hague and Christina Koch of NASA used the Canadarm2 robotic arm to release Cygnus after it was unberthed from the Earth-facing port of the Unity module by robotic flight controllers following more than three months attached to the orbital outpost. Cygnus is being used as a platform to deploy a number of small nanosatellites during its extended stay in orbit. The vehicle is scheduled to be deorbited in December to burn up harmlessly in Earth’s atmosphere.
