Northrop Grumman\u2019s Cygnus\u00a0XL spacecraft<\/a>\u00a0today\u00a0fired its thrusters for\u00a020 mins,\u00a043 seconds\u00a0boosting the International Space Station<\/a>\u2019s orbit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Cygnus XL\u2019s\u00a0gimbaled delta velocity engine was used to adjust the space station\u2019s\u00a0altitude\u00a0by\u00a02\/10-of-a-mile at apogee, or highest point of station\u2019s orbit, and\u00a02.6\u00a0miles at perigee, or lowest\u00a0point of station\u2019s orbit, placing the station in an orbit of\u00a0266.5\u00a0x\u00a0254.9 miles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Cygnus XL\u00a0spacecraft, which is supporting\u00a0NASA\u2019s Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services 24\u00a0mission, arrived at the orbital complex on\u00a0April 13,\u00a0delivering more than 11,000 pounds of science and supplies to the space station. Cygnus will remain\u00a0berthed\u00a0to\u00a0space station\u00a0until October\u00a0when\u00a0it will be filled with\u00a0disposal cargo, unberthed\u00a0from station,\u00a0and\u00a0then\u00a0harmlessly burn up\u00a0during its destructive reentry\u00a0into\u00a0Earth\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n

This reboost\u00a0sets up the\u00a0phasing\u00a0for\u00a0Progress 96 launch in early September.<\/p>\n
