Cygnus-18 Cargo Spacecraft Docked to Unity module | International Space Station

The Northrop Grumman Cygnus space freighter is pictured in the grip of the Canadarm2 robotic arm as ground controllers remotely installed the cargo craft to the International Space Station's Unity module. The space station was orbiting into a sunset 257 miles above the Indian Ocean off the coast of the African nation of Tanzania.

Cygnus is carrying 8,200 pounds of supplies, hardware, and science experiments.
