Enhanced Cygnus spacecraft 3D model

Northrop Grumman's Enhanced Cygnus cargo spacecraft, formerly known as Orbital Sciences Corporation and OrbitalATK, played a key role in the initial Commercial Resupply Services program. This advanced spacecraft is utilized for the latter part of the program. The Enhanced Cygnus features a 3-segment variant of the Cygnus PCM, along with an Enhanced Cygnus service module. It's worth noting that this configuration differs from the Cygnus variant flown on CRS2, which boasts radiators and Flight Releasable Attachment Mechanisms replacing some shielding panels on the PCM. This upgraded model will be released at a later date. To accurately replicate the real-life Cygnus spacecraft, the model is highly modular in design. Each panel, the PCM structure, PCM endcap/Common Berthing Mechanism, and service module are all separate components, carefully instanced to match the actual configuration. The UltraFlex solar arrays, although non-deployable, are designed as distinct parts from the SM. All textures and materials used for this model are conveniently stored in the .blend file.
