A video by astronauts Luca Parmitano and Andrew Morgan posted on the
European Space Agency YouTube channel on January 26th, 2020 shows Luca
going inside the Cygnus NG-12 vehicle, which took cargo, as well as
several satellites, including HuskySat-1, to the ISS.
Even more relevant to HuskySat-1 and the the amateur radio satellite
community, Luca mentions the "delivery system" they planned to install
on the vehicle before it was released, which happened on January 31st.
HuskySat-1 was deployed from the delivery system later that day. Luca
says he thinks it's really cool that the delivery system provides
another way to gain access to space, and I couldn't agree more.
The Cygnus tour begins at 24:42 into the video, and the delivery
system is mentioned at 26:57.
This link to the video goes directly to 24:42:
