Catching up with posting, documentation..
I'd seen that few of these "fiery re-entry" resupply missions were named for astronauts who died in fiery crashes, so maybe it's a gallows humor Running gag?
Still seems tacky, though.
As per the data on the individual pages, the time between a mission's unberthing date and its decay date varies greatly from mission to mission. Just the few I checked (most recent missions) range from 1 day to 25.
All that I have seen for this one's 'swan dive' or 'swan song' is what was put out on Friday:
"Cygnus — filled with trash packed by the station crew — will be commanded to deorbit on Saturday, July 13, setting up a destructive re-entry in which the spacecraft will safely burn up in Earth's atmosphere," they added.Cygnus cargo spacecraft departs the ISS for a fiery re-entry in Earth's atmosphere
Or as currently on its wiki page:
End of mission
Disposal Deorbited
Decay date 13 July 2024 (planned)
***
Seems like a minor detail to follow up on, but I always appreciate a good metaphor. So far there's not an official word on the decay date for this one's burning up for good with all of the trash inside.
Unberthed on the 12th, commanded to decay on the 13th, and looks like there's a duality in the imagery -- the swan in the white space and the hangman (raven? black swan?) in the black.
To Phinneous,
Of course that would suggest that NG20 is a mission named 'Ang 20, like Esther's requests to hang the 10 sons of Haman and then hang them again, like how those solar arrays are designed, 2 "rosettes", of 10 and 10.

Amazing, isn’t it? All coming together in her time, even two full years...
A year, like the r”t in the phrase in the parsha that week:
שִׁמְעוּ־נָא֙ הַמֹּרִ֔ים

RENPET
>>>
🌴
Renpet was, in the Egyptian language, the word for “year”.[1]
Its hieroglyph was figuratively depicted in art as a woman wearing a palm shoot (symbolizing time) over her head.[2] She was often referred to as the Mistress of Eternity and also personified fertility, youth and spring. The glyph regularly appears on monuments and documents throughout Egyptian history as the beginning of the phrase recording the regnal year of the pharaoh.

(Maybe she’s even got a time machine... with her name on it. Introduced on a Sabbath, 11 Cheshvan.)
Ugly duckling wins beauty contest:
“Following a deorbit engine firing on Saturday, July 13, Cygnus will begin a planned destructive re-entry, in which the spacecraft – filled with trash packed by the station crew – will safely burn up in Earth’s atmosphere.”

״אַחַר הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה״. (אַחַר מַאי?) אָמַר רָבָא: אַחַר שֶׁבָּרָא הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא רְפוּאָה לַמַּכָּה.
The verse describes when the rest of the events of the Megilla occurred: “After these events did King Ahasuerus promote Haman” (Esther 3:1). The Gemara asks: After what particular events? Rava said: Only after the Holy One, Blessed be He, created a remedy for the blow and set in place the chain of events that would lead to the miraculous salvation was Haman appointed, setting the stage for the decree against the Jews to be issued.
