Engineers discovered the spacecraft's engine shutdowns were triggered by conservative software safeguards, not mechanical issues. After updating software parameters, the upgraded Cygnus XL successfully delivered nearly 5,000 kilograms of supplies including food, oxygen, spare parts, and research equipment to the space station.
