U.S. resupply ship released from ISS
Orbital Sciences’ Cygnus cargo craft was detached and released from the International Space Station Feb. 18, more than a month after delivering a ton of supplies and experiments to the Expedition 38 crew. Cygnus will be commanded by Orbital Sciences’ flight controllers to fire its engines Feb. 19, which will send it into a destructive reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere.
17500 miles per hour….wow….unbelievable.
