Cygnus CRS OA-9E

Cygnus CRS OA-8E även känd som Orbital Sciences CRS Flight 8E, var en flygningen av en av företaget Orbital ATKs Cygnus rymdfarkoster till Internationella rymdstationen (ISS). Farkosten sköts upp med en Antares 230 raket, från Wallops Flight Facility i Virginia, den 12 november 2017[3].

Farkosten var uppkallad efter den avlidne amerikanske astronauten Eugene "Gene" Cernan[1].

Målet med flygningen var att leverera material och förnödenheter till ISS.

Farkosten dockades med rymdstationen med hjälp av Canadarm2, den 14 november 2017.

Farkosten lämnade rymdstationen den 6 december 2017. Den brann som planerat upp i jordens atmosfär den 18 december 2017.

12 november 2017

Strax före den planerade uppskjutningen den 11 november 2017 kom ett mindre flygplan in i det avlysta luftrummet, detta ledde till att uppskjutningen fick flyttas fram knappt 24 timmar till den 12 november.

A Progress supply ship linked up to the orbiting International Space Station (ISS) at 3:48 GMT, November 18, bringing Expedition 1 commander William M. Shepherd, pilot Yuri P.

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.
