Update: Per Northrop Grumman, this is debris from an "acoustic blanket". Possible that it came from inside the fairing, where it would have been used to shield Cygnus from noise & vibrations during launch. Probably got snagged on the array when the fairing separated.

Image of Cygnus NG-18 arriving at ISS with one array undeployed. The 2nd image is a zoomed-in view of the undeployed array compared with the same angle of a deployed array - it appears to me as though some foam-like material has "bulged" out of the folded array (see red circle)?

Acoustic blanket material from inside the fairing, probably due to Cygnus snagging the fairing during separation because the whole vehicle was in motion, possibly rotating, at the time of separation, for reasons still unexplained. Thruster firings around this time might also be an explanation.

Anyone knows when Cygnus NG-18 is undocking from the ISS? NSF forum’s ISS Schedule thread still lists it at NET March 1st but I don’t see NASA TV listing it.
