Some words about SS Alan Bean, by Expedition 61 commander Luca Parmitano
Cygnus now at 600 meters from ISS
Outside Approach ellipsoïd.
End of NASA TV coverage and thanks to our today's PAO Dan Huot.

(snip) Aerocube 14 A/B & 15 A/B, SwampSat-II, Huskysat-I[, & Orbital Factory-2 have been released into orbit from our #Cygnus #CubeSat deployer!
That looks like five nanosats.
There appear to be six in the photo posted by FutureSpaceTourist.
The one not on the list above is
CIRIS with the blue Ball logo in what looks like Deployer SN 9 in the upper right.
Any idea what happened to CIRIS?
(Was the release broadcast this morning and if so, did anyone capture the video?)

Probably you mixed up the NRCSD-E and Slingshot deployer.
From NRCSD-E were deployed seven satellites.
From Slingshot (which is shown in the images above) should be deployed 8 satellites. CIRIS is part of the Slingshot deployment.

You are right. I am confused
The tweet made no mention of NRCSD, which deploys out the JEM scientific airlock IIRC.
It would be VERY confusing if they deployed from NRCSD and Slingshot within a few hours
Hypergiant
SEOPS
Slingshot
NRCSD
ALANA
Alphabet soup. Very confusing how they interact
The true benefit of dedicated smallsat launcher might be simplicity.
So were nanosats deployed from Slingshot on Cygnus-12 this morning?
edit: The tweet says “from our #Cygnus #CubeSat deployer”. NRCSD is not part of Cygnus.

At the moment we only know, that CIRIS was deployed from Slingshot. Waiting for more information.
