NASA coverage of rendezvous as well as capture will set about at ii a.1000., followed past installation coverage at five a.m. NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli volition capture Cygnus using the station'sec robotic arm, together with NASA astronaut Loral O'Hara volition deed as backup. After capture, the spacecraft will be installed on the Unity module'second Earth-facing port.

Highlights of space station enquiry facilitated by delivery aboard this Cygnus are:the showtime surgical robot on the space station
an orbit re-entry platform that collects thermal protection systems information
a 3D cartilage cell civilization that maintains good for you cartilage in a lower gravity
the MSTIC facility, an autonomous semiconductor manufacturing platform
as well as a metallic 3D printer that volition exam the capability for printing minor metal parts

Media interested inward speaking to a discipline thing proficient nearly scientific discipline aboard, should contact Sandra Jones at sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.

The Cygnus spacecraft is scheduled to stay at the space station until May when it volition depart the orbiting laboratory at which point it volition harmlessly burn down upwards in the world'sec atmosphere. This spacecraft is named the south.southward. Patricia "Patty" Hilliard Robertson later the erstwhile NASA astronaut.
