The Northrop Grumman OA-9E Cygnus spacecraft has departed the ISS at the concluding phase of her mission. The departure comes five days after a unique test objective. The cargo resupply vehicle provided a reboost to the Station with a short 50 second burn of its main engine on the aft of the vehicle, raising the Station’s altitude by 295 feet. This test will pave the way for future, longer burns, removing some of the orbital stationkeeping strain from the Russian assets.
