After a few months berthed at the International Space Station, NG-17 Cygnus is expected to be detached to eventually burn up in Earth’s atmosphere.
About two days after launch, the NG-17 Cygnus spacecraft is slated to rendezvous with the International Space Station for a berthing at the Earth-facing port of the Unity module.
Northrop Grumman is scheduled to fly the 17th operational Cygnus cargo mission to the International Space Station — NG-17 Cygnus. It’ll take about two days to reach the outpost.
Orbital Velocity is designed to be "living time capsule" about the International Space Station.
This project is an attempt to bridge an information gap between space agencies and companies, as well as a public that supports space endeavors with their tax dollars. Despite the importance of the space station, the general public doesn't always know what is happening aboard this amazing complex on a regular basis. Research being conducted isn't always readily available and what information is out there can sometimes be difficult to understand. Some people aren't even aware there is an active space program, let alone a space station.
Orbital Velocity hopes to change that by building a database of information through blogs, a website, small videos and longer documentary-like series'.
