NORTHRUP GRUMMAN’S CYGNUS cargo spacecraft conducted a successful reboost of the International Space Station on Saturday, June 25, 2022.
“This Cygnus mission is the first to feature this enhanced capability as a standard service for NASA.”
Cygnus had been docked to the ISS since February and now has departed, leaving on June 28.
Back in 2018, the ninth Cygnus resupply mission conducted a test of the reboost capability by conducting a short 50-second burn of its main engine, raising the Station’s altitude by 90 meters (295 feet).
