Cygnus CRS Orb-1

Cygnus Orb-D1 även känd som Cygnus 1 eller Orbital Sciences COTS Demo Flight, var första test flygningen av företaget Orbital Sciences Corporation rymdfarkost Cygnus. Farkosten var uppkallad efter den avlidne amerikanske astronauten G. David Low. Uppskjutningen gjordes med en Antaresraket den 18 september 2013. Den 29 september samma år dockades farkosten med rymdstationen ISS, med hjälp av Canadarm2. Farkosten lämnade rymdstationen den 22 oktober 2013 och brann upp i jordens atmosfär den 23 oktober 2013.

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.
