The Cygnus cargo craft from Northrop Grumman with its prominent cymbal-shaped UltraFlex solar arrays is pictured in the grips of the Canadarm2 robotic arm. Cygnus would be released moments later as the International Space Station was orbiting over the Pacific Ocean. Visible in Cygnus' Common Berthing Mechanism is the Slingshot small satellite deployer designed to deploy CubeSats from the cargo ship once it reaches a safe distance from the station after its release.
