Cygnus X hosts many young stellar groupings. The combined outflows and ultraviolet radiation from the region's numerous massive stars have heated and pushed gas away from the clusters, producing cavities of hot, lower-density gas. In this 8-micron infrared image, ridges of denser gas mark the boundaries of the cavities. Bright spots within these ridges show where stars are forming today.

Expedition 47 robotic arm operator Tim Kopra of NASA commanded the International Space Station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm to release the Cygnus spacecraft at 9:30 a.m. EDT while the space station was flying above Paraguay. Earlier, ground controllers detached Cygnus from the station and maneuvered it into place for its departure. After Cygnus is a safe distance away, ground controllers at Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio will initiate the sequence for Saffire-1, and controllers at Orbital ATK in Dulles, Virginia, will activate the experiment. Cygnus will continue to orbit Earth for up to eight days as it transmits hi-resolution imagery and data from the Saffire experiment.
ISS046e043433 (02/19/2016) --- The Expedition 46 crew took out the trash recently when it released the Orbital ATK Cygnus spacecraft from the grips of the International Space Station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm. Cygnus was filled with roughly 1.5 tons of trash and discarded gear before the hatches were closed. Ground controllers then remotely guided the Canadarm2 to grapple Cygnus and detach it from the Unity module. NASA astronauts Scott Kelly and Tim Kopra commanded the Canadarm2 to release Cygnus Feb 19, at 7:26 a.m. EST when it began gracefully departing the vicinity of the station. Cygnus ultimately burned up during reentry through the Earth’s atmosphere on Saturday, Feb 20. This was Orbital ATK’s fourth commercial resupply mission.
