Cygnus NG-15 S. S. Katherine Johnson
Cygnus carried the BIRDS-4 trio — including MMSATS-1, the first satellite operated by Myanmar, and GuaraniSat-1, Paraguay's first — alongside MYSat-2, the second satellite from the United Arab Emirates' Khalifa University. MMSATS-1's deployment from Kibo was delayed by weeks following the Myanmar coup of February 2021 before being released in March.
