Mission details:

Mounted on the Cygnus-CRS6 service module was the first NRCSD-E external cubesat deployer carrying 5 Lemur-2 satellites. On Jun 21, 2016 two pairs of Lemur-2 cubesats were ejected.
A third deployer silo with a single Lemur-2 (Lemur-2 Beccadeway) failed to open, and the cubesat remained inside when the following day Cygnus made its deorbit burn and reentered over the South Pacific at 1329 UTC Jun 22, 2016.
