Northrup Grumman's Cygnus resupply ship, with its prominent cymbal-shaped UltraFlex solar arrays, is pictured in the grips of the Canadarm2 robotic arm moments before its release ending its 83-day stay at the International Space Station (ISS) on May 11, 2020. Within 24 hours of its release, Cygnus began its secondary mission, hosting the Spacecraft Fire Safety Experiment – IV (Saffire-IV), which provides an environment to safely study fire in microgravity. We’ll share more on Saffire-IV in our Story feed soon! Image Credit: NASA #nasa #cygnus #iss #space #explore
