After Cygnus is recorded, robotics controllers on the ground will take over command of the Canadarm2 and from another location install Cygnus on the Unity modules Earth-facing port.The Cygnus space freighter is pictured minutes away from being captured with the Canadarm2 robotic arm above northern Iraq on February 21, 2022. OHara then signed up with Mogensen at the end of the day for eye examinations utilizing basic medical imaging equipment found in a medical professionals office on Earth.NASA astronaut and Expedition 70 Flight Engineer Loral OHara treats brain cell-like samples inside the Kibo lab modules Life Science Glovebox aboard the International Space Station.

The Expedition 70 and Ax-3 crews are engaged in comprehensive research study, health monitoring, and station maintenance, contributing to ongoing area exploration efforts.
