“Following initial evaluation, there also is damage to the cargo module,” the agency said in a statement, according to Ars Technica. “The International Space Station Program will continue working with Northrop Grumman to assess whether the #Cygnus cargo module is able to safely fly to the space station on a future flight.”

For #MythologyMonday -- how about the #Roman myth of the #constellation Cygnus?

The story goes that when Phaethon, the son of Helios, drove his father's chariot he lost control & Zeus/Jupiter had to kill him.

In the aftermath, Phaethon's lover, Cygnus, collected his bones to give him a proper funeral. The gods were so moved by this devotion, they put him in the night sky as a swan (who famously mate for life).
