ALT The Northrop Grumman Cygnus space freighter approaches the International Space Station for a capture with the Canadarm2 robotic arm. In the right foreground, is a UHF antenna used for space-to-space communications between astronauts during spacewalks.
ALT The Northrop Grumman Cygnus space freighter is pictured moments before being captured with the Canadarm2 robotic arm shortly after its rendezvous with the International Space Station. One of two cymbal-shaped UltraFlex solar arrays successfully deployed after Cygnus reached orbit following its launch two days earlier from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. NASA and Northrop Grumman teams analyzed data and determined that Cygnus had sufficient power to continue its journey to the space station.
