Friday, November 8, 2013 Cargo spacecraft's reentry burn captured (video)Cargo vehicles such as Orbital Sciences' Cygnus capsule typically stay docked at the ISS for months, while they get filled with trash. When they leave, the capsules and their contents burn up during reentry into the atmosphere over the ocean. Usually, no one witnesses the reentry burn since they're targeted over uninhabited areas. But in November, when the European Space Agency's cargo spacecraft, the Albert Einstein, underwent reentry just 100 kilometers below the station itself, astronauts captured a few pictures of the vehicle's demise and edited them together into a video.
