Overview

• Station crews captured the cargo ship with Canadarm2 at 7:24 a.m. EDT before berthing it to the Unity module, where it will remain through March 2026.
• NASA said an early warning routine in the guidance software ended two non‑consecutive orbit‑raising burns, and data confirmed the main engine was healthy.
• Mission teams refined the software sensitivity and executed alternate maneuvers, enabling a smooth final approach and capture.
• The spacecraft delivered about 11,000 pounds of research hardware, crew supplies and spares, including components for the station’s urine processor.
• This maiden flight of the larger Cygnus XL boosts pressurized cargo capacity by roughly 33 percent and launched Sept. 14 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral.
