NASA's Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services 24 Departure

Watch Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus XL spacecraft undock and depart from the International Space Station.

Flight controllers on the ground will send commands for the space station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm to detach the Cygnus XL spacecraft from the Unity module’s Earth-facing port and maneuver it into position for release at 12:45 p.m. EDT (1645 UTC).

This Cygnus XL previously delivered more than 11,000 pounds of supplies, science experiments, and other cargo to the space station.
