Tomorrow, it will be unberthed to begin the final stage of its mission. Photo Credit: NASA After more than a month at the International Space Station (ISS), Orbital Sciences Corp. will […] Firmly grasped by the Canadarm2 robotic arm, the ORB-1 Cygnus is prepared for berthing at the “nadir” (or Earth-facing) port of the Harmony node.
