Cygnus CRS Orb-2 även känd som Orbital-2, var den tredje flygningen av företaget Orbital Sciences Corporation rymdfarkost Cygnus för att leverera förnödenheter, syre, vatten. Farkosten var uppkallad efter den avlidne astronauten Janice E. Voss.

Uppskjutningen gjordes med en Antaresraket den 13 juli 2014. Tre dagar senare, den 13 juli dockades farkosten med rymdstationen ISS, med hjälp av Canadarm2. Farkosten lämnade rymdstationen den 15 augusti 2014 och brann upp i jordens atmosfär den 17 augusti 2014.

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.
