Description
Cygnus's service module separates, allowing the High-Energy Atmospheric Reentry Test (HEART) inflatable heat shield to deploy. HEART would serve both as a demonstration of medium-scale HIAD reentry, and allow Cygnus to carry downmass cargo and potentially evolve to partial reusability. The 2-segment PCM and original SM are shown, but it probably would've been possible to incorporate into Enhanced Cygnus
