Cygnus CRS OA-9E även känd som Orbital Sciences CRS Flight 9E, var en flygning 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 21 maj 2018[3].

Farkosten är uppkallad efter den avlidne amerikanen J.R. Thompson[1]. Målet med flygningen var att leverera material och förnödenheter till ISS. Farkosten dockades med rymdstationen med hjälp av Canadarm2 den 24 maj 2018 och lämnade stationen den 15 juli 2018. Den brann som planerat upp i jordens atmosfär den 30 juli 2018.

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.
