NASA Science Launches to the Space Station

Following a successful launch of NASA’s SpaceX 33rd commercial resupply mission, new scientific experiments and cargo for the agency arrived to the International Space Station.

A SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft with its nosecone open and carrying over 5,000 pounds of science, supplies, and hardware for NASA's SpaceX CRS-33 mission approaches the International Space Station for an automated docking to the Harmony module's forward port. Both spacecraft were flying 262 miles above the Atlantic Ocean east of the Canadian province of Newfoundland at the time of this photograph.
