Crew Kicks Off Week Prepping for Cygnus Cargo Mission

The Expedition 74 crew continues preparing for the next U.S. cargo mission due to visit the International Space Station.

NASA Flight Engineers Chris Williams and Jack Hathaway joined each other in the cupola on Monday and practiced maneuvering the Canadarm2 robotic arm to capture the Cygnus XL when it arrives to the space station. After the cargo spacecraft’s capture, ground controllers will remotely command Canadarm2 to install Cygnus XL on the Unity module’s Earth-facing port. More
