Cygnus CRS OA-5 även känd som Orbital Sciences CRS Flight 5, var en flygningen av en av företaget Orbital ATKs Cygnus rymdfarkoster till Internationella rymdstationen för att leverera förnödenheter, syre, vatten. Farkosten är uppkallad efter den avlidne amerikanske astronauten Alan G. Poindexter.

Farkosten sköts upp den 17 oktober 2016 och dockades med rymdstationen med hjälp av Canadarm2, den 23 oktober 2016. Farkosten lämnade rymdstationen den 21 november 2016.

Uppskjutningen gjordes med en ny version av företagets Antaresraket, kallad 230.

Några timmar efter farkosten lämnat rymdstationen genomfördes experimentet Saffire-II.[2] Efter att farkostens omloppsbana höjts till 500 km, avfyrades ett antal CubeSat satelliter från farkosten.[4]

Farkosten brann planenligt upp i jordens atmosfär den 28 november 2016.

Gidzenko and flight engineer Sergei K. Krikalev two tons of food, clothing, hardware and holiday gifts from their families. The photograph was taken with a 35mm camera and the film was later handed over to the STS-97 crew members

for return to Earth and subsequent processing.

ISS021-E-017623 (30 Oct. 2009) --- Backdropped by a cloud-covered part of Earth, the unpiloted Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), filled with trash and unneeded items, departs from the International Space Station. European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne, Expedition 21 commander; NASA astronaut Nicole Stott and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk, both flight engineers, used the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to grab the HTV cargo craft and unberth it from the Harmony node's nadir port. The HTV was successfully unberthed at 10:18 a.m. (CDT) on Oct. 30, 2009, and released from the station's Canadarm2 at 12:32 p.m.
