Both #Cygnus solar arrays are rotated and fully deployed! Cygnus is on its way to @Space_Station

Wing No. 2 is fully unfurled.
Solar array deployment is confirmed aboard the Cygnus vessel. The circular array design is dubbed the Mickey Mouse ears. The new structures are lighter and more compacted, yet generate the same amount of power.

The next event is a post-launch news conference from the Kennedy Space Center coming up no sooner than 2:30 p.m. EDT (1830 GMT).

Both Arrays Deployed as Mission Begins
Posted on April 18, 2017 at 1:52 pm by Anna Heiney.
          
Both of the solar arrays on the Orbital ATK CRS-7 Cygnus module have successfully deployed and are beginning to draw power, reports Frank DeMauro, vice president and general manager of Orbital ATK's Advanced Programs Division, Space Systems Group.

For the next couple of hours, DeMauro said, the spacecraft will undergo a detailed checkout before starting the first of several orbit-raising burns it will perform in the coming days as it pursues a Monday-morning rendezvous with the International Space Station.

A post-launch news conference is planned for 2:30 p.m. EDT on NASA Television.
