Easter delivery brings Cygnus cargo to space station
The International Space Station received an Easter delivery aboard Orbital ATK’s Cygnus capsule named for the swan constellation. Astronauts captured the freighter with the station arm as it orbited 250 miles above the Indian Ocean. The mission adds fresh groceries, a 3-D printer, gecko-inspired grippers, and experiments before two more supply flights arrive in coming weeks. Rick Husband is honored by naming the Cygnus in his memory.
