This is the first flight of the larger version of the company's solar-powered spacecraft.
The Cygnus spacecraft consists of two basic components: the Service Module (SM) and the Pressurized Cargo Module (PCM). [...] The SM is capable of producing up to 4 kW of electrical power via two solar arrays.
Just so no one mistakenly gets the idea that this spacecraft's propulsion is solar-powered!
