I wonder why they need two arrays for a couple day flight? I would think batteries would hold a charge for that long.
Oh well…it looks like it’s going to get there anyway.

As long as it’s not a Canon Printer. It will load the space station’s operating system with 6 printer utility programs and 8 background processes.

From what the article mentioned about science experiments onboard, I would guess the the extra power is needed for those.

We got a utility here that built a massive ground array last year. It is all motorized to aim at the sun all day long. Too bad that ever time I drive by less than half of its aimed in a useful direction. Been that way at least six months. What a waste!
Good ole Tampa Electric, wasting rate payers $$$ since 1999.

Not all of them, some are actually done in the Cygnus.

Batteries probably weigh considerably more than a couple solar arrays.
To: BlackbirdSST
Ya it is, I didn’t know that was happening until I heard it stated at the launch broadcast. Guess the iss can use Cygnus as an extra lab space. I do know NG does do experiments after Cygnus un docks.
