Key Benchmarks in a LEO Economy Robert L. Curbeam Jr. VP – Business Development Space Systems Group Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems

Cygnus Cargo Transportation Service to the ISS Pressurized Cargo Module (PCM) 3500 kg cargo Service Module (SM) Propulsion Guidance Communications Command & Data Power Thermal Control Cygnus Provides Logistics Support To The International Space Station, Including Commercial And Science Payloads

Cygnus Capabilities and Payload Accommodations Over 22,000 kg of cargo delivered to ISS to date Internal payload accommodations Cygnus can carry four to six powered Mid Deck Lockers (MDLs) for stowage or science experiments Direct connection to ISS Payload Data Bus while berthed at ISS External payload accommodations Standard external CubeSat deployer Payload deployments up to 500 km altitude already demonstrated Several external locations to accommodate unpressurized payloads

Future Cygnus Capability enhancements and vehicle modifications are being developed to accommodate new commercial and government payloads Enhanced services – power, data, communications Developing a “Cygnus Lab” platform for payloads Extension of ISS science - increased number of MDLs Long duration operations attached to the ISS with or without crew support Cygnus “free-flyer” capability that could support a variety of customers Long duration undisturbed microgravity environment Ability to return to ISS Specific ground target pointing Inherently flexible design can be adapted for the Cislunar resupply mission 5

Cygnus Commercial Applications in LEO Cygnus offers unique capabilities beyond the normal / routine ISS cargo services Cygnus can provide unique environments for technology demonstration/testing and commercial payloads Accommodate payloads deemed too hazardous to ISS. (Spacecraft Fire Safety Experiment - Saffire Mission) Provide an autonomous platform for payloads desiring long duration, free-flyer and return to ISS Testbed for future human-tended missions

Thank-You The Cygnus Spacecraft Is Available, Versatile And Affordable To A Wide Range Of Commercial And Government Customers
