The question was what are the things you'll see on it? Let's call it Cygnus as what scientist named it. Cygnus's inside weigh 5,100 pounds loaded such as 2,255 pounds of spacewalk equipment, space station hardware, 1,100 pounds of gears for research, also 1,299 pounds clothing and food for crews.

It would be like opening a Christmas gift, first, the excitement fills you up because you don't know what's inside then the happiness you'll feel after you open your presents is undeniably good. After three weeks or so they will release it pack with trash and unnecessary equipment that they're no longer needed. The delivery was arrived on Sunday morning following the almost two years pause in deliveries because of 2014 explosion.

 "Cygnus capture is complete," Onishi radioed. "What a beautiful vehicle. Congratulations to the Orbital ATK team and the teams in Houston and (Japan) on the successful arrival of Cygnus 5 to the International Space Station. And thank you very much for bringing tons of science and supplies to the station.

 It would be amazing if someday on our life if time permits us to travel the galaxy and witnessing the true unending beauty of space. It would be great also if we learn to live on another planet (not saying we should leave our beloved Earth) and find out everything to the universe.

The crew on the International Space station cannot contain they happiness that they've felt. Getting gifts from their loved ones and all the necessary equipment they need.

The researchers put an experiment inside the cargo, there will be an activation that will ignite a small fire, for what? So they can learn more on how the flame propagates in weightlessness. Not only that, Cygnus also comes with it some small satellites to be used for weather forecasting.
