Specialists of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States published amazing photos of the Cygnus cargo spacecraft of the American company Northrop Grumman on the social network X. The images were taken before Cygnus left the International Space Station on July 12 and burned up in the Earth’s atmosphere.
The images from different angles show the Cygnus cargo spacecraft attached to the station using the Canadarm2 manipulator. In February 2024, it arrived at the ISS and delivered 3.7 tons of food and equipment for the crew.
