[i]Cygnus departed from the International Space Station on Dec. 6 at 8:11 a.m. EST [1311 GMT] following a highly successful stay at the orbiting laboratory. The spacecraft is packed with approximately 6,400 pounds [2,900 kilograms] of disposable cargo, the largest amount of material ever removed by Cygnus during its cargo resupply missions. After its departure, the S.S. Gene Cernan successfully released 14 cubesats from a NanoRacks cubesat deployer on board. The OA-8 mission is expected to end on Dec. 18 when Cygnus will execute a safe, destructive reentry into Earth's atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean.[/i]
