iss073e1196921 (Nov. 25, 2025) --- Northrop Grumman's Cygnus XL cargo craft is pictured in the grips of the International Space Station Canadarm2 robotic arm. Cygnus XL had been temporarily released from its Earth-facing port on the Unity module to make room for the Soyuz MS-28 crew spacecraft, which was scheduled to arrive the next day and dock to the Rassvet module. JAXA's (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) HTV-X1 cargo craft, with its solar arrays deployed, is seen berthed to the Earth-facing port of the Harmony module. The orbital outpost was soaring 262 miles above the Caribbean Sea south of Cuba at the time of this photograph.
