Cygnus NG-18

Cygnus NG-17 var en flygning av en av företaget Northrop Grummans Cygnus rymdfarkoster till Internationella rymdstationen (ISS). Farkosten sköts upp med en Antares 230+ raket, från Wallops Flight Facility i Virginia, den 19 februari 2022.[2]

Farkosten kallades S.S. Piers Sellers och var uppkallad efter den avlidna brittisk-amerikanske astronauten Piers Sellers.

Målet med flygningen var att leverera material och förnödenheter till ISS.

Den 21 februari 2022 dockades farkosten med rymdstationen med hjälp av Canadarm2.

Den lämnade rymdstationen den 28 juni 2022 och brann upp i jordens atmosfär den 29 juni 2022

Under tiden farkosten var dockad med rymdstationen, användes den för första gången för att höja rymdstationens omloppsbana.[3]

ISS021-E-017623 (30 Oct. 2009) --- Backdropped by a cloud-covered part of Earth, the unpiloted Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), filled with trash and unneeded items, departs from the International Space Station. European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne, Expedition 21 commander; NASA astronaut Nicole Stott and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk, both flight engineers, used the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to grab the HTV cargo craft and unberth it from the Harmony node's nadir port. The HTV was successfully unberthed at 10:18 a.m. (CDT) on Oct. 30, 2009, and released from the station's Canadarm2 at 12:32 p.m.
