iss063e010583 (May 11, 2020) — The Northrop Grumman (NG)-13 Cygnus vehicle (S.S. Robert Henry Lawrence Jr.) cargo craft is pictured in the grips of the Canadarm2 robotic arm shortly before its departure from the International Space Station (ISS) for a destructive re-entry over the South Pacific Ocean. Seen in the view is the High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) payload attached to the Cygnus. The HDEV experiment, deployed and activated in April 2014, placed four commercially available HD cameras on the exterior of the space station and used them to stream live video of Earth for viewing online. Almost 350 million viewers visited the site over HDEV’s life span.
