Live coverage of the departure of the S.S. Richard \u201cDick\u201d Scobee Northrop Grumman\u2019s uncrewed Cygnus cargo spacecraft from the International Space Station<\/a> is underway on NASA+, with its release from the robotic arm scheduled for 6:55 a.m. EDT. Coverage will conclude following departure from station.<\/p>\n

Flight controllers on the ground sent commands earlier Friday morning for the space station\u2019s Canadarm2 robotic arm to detach Cygnus from the Unity module\u2019s Earth-facing port and then maneuvered the spacecraft into position for its release. NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers<\/a> will monitor Cygnus\u2019 systems during its departure from the space station.<\/p>\n

After a deorbit engine firing on Sunday, March 30, Cygnus will begin a planned destructive re-entry, in which the spacecraft \u2013 filled with trash packed by the station crew \u2013 will safely burn up in Earth\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Cygnus arrived at the space station Aug. 6, 2024, following a launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. It was the company\u2019s 21st commercial resupply services mission to the space station for NASA. The spacecraft is named the S.S. Richard \u201cDick\u201d Scobee in honor of the former NASA astronaut.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
