Kulemera konse kwa katundu woperekedwa ndi Cygnus ku International Space Station ndi pafupifupi matani 3,5. Mwa zina, sitimayo inanyamula katundu wofunikira, zipangizo zosiyanasiyana, komanso mbewa za labotale zomwe zidzagwiritsidwe ntchito pofufuza za sayansi. Zikuyembekezeka kuti sitima yonyamula katunduyo ikhalabe m'chigawo chino mpaka pakati pa Julayi chaka chino, pambuyo pake idzachoka ku ISS ndikupitilizabe kukhalabe mpaka Disembala 2019. Panthawiyi, akukonzekera kukhazikitsa ma satelayiti angapo ophatikizika, komanso kuchita zoyeserera zasayansi.
