After launching on Dec. 6 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, Orbital ATK’s enhanced Cygnus spacecraft deployed its solar array “wings”. The Cygnus is headed to the International Space Station on a mission to deliver more than 7,000 pounds of science and research, crew supplies and vehicle hardware to the orbital laboratory. This is Orbital ATK’s fourth contracted mission to the station under the agency’s Commercial Resupply Services contract.
