The Orbital ATK Cygnus cargo vehicle floats away from the International Space Station after being released by the Canadarm2 robotic arm June 14, 2016 in Earth Orbit. Once safely away from the space station ground controllers will initiate the sequence for the Saffire experiment and Cygnus will continue to orbit Earth for up to eight days as it transmits hi-resolution imagery and data from the Saffire experiment.
