iss066e147592 (Feb. 21, 2022) --- Northrop Grumman's Cygnus space freighter is pictured in the grip of the Canadarm2 robotic arm moments after NASA astronaut Raja Chari commanded it to capture the U.S. cargo craft. Robotics controllers on the ground would take over shortly afterward and remotely guide the Canadarm2 with Cygnus attached and install it to the Unity module to begin three months of cargo operations. This is Northrop Grumman’s 17th contracted resupply mission under the second Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA.
