After a mission lasting under two months, Orbital ATK’s OA-7 Cygnus spacecraft has conducted its final mission event – deorbit and destructive reentry. After departing the Space Station last week, Cygnus successfully conducted the SAFFIRE III fire in space experiment and deployed Cubesats for NanoRacks. Reentry occurred on Sunday over a remote stretch of the Pacific Ocean at around 13:02 EDT.
