The Cygnus reentered over the South Pacific shortly after 1 p.m. Eastern, a week after departing the ISS.
During the time after its departure, the spacecraft deployed four cubesats and performed a fire experiment.
The spacecraft was carrying nearly 2,000 kilograms of cargo for disposal. Orbital ATK says it’s prepared to launch up to two more Cygnus missions this year for NASA on Antares rockets, depending on the station’s cargo needs. [Orbital ATK]
