The Expedition 74 crew explored advanced treatments for cancer and cartilage injuries on Tuesday using the weightless environment to gain new biomedical insights. The orbital residents also continued gearing up for a spacewalk planned at the end of the month outside the International Space Station.
New science experiments are getting underway aboard the International Space Station after a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft delivered about 6,500 pounds of cargo on Sunday, May 17. The Expedition 74 crew spent Monday unloading the new supplies, kicking off new research, and gearing up for a spacewalk.
At 6:37 a.m. EDT, the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft docked to the forward port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module, carrying nearly 6,500 pounds of food, supplies, and equipment for the Expedition 74 crew. This is the 34th SpaceX commercial resupply services mission to the space station for NASA.
At approximately 6:38 a.m. EDT, Dragon will dock autonomously to the forward port of the space station’s Harmony module.
At 6:05 p.m. EDT, nearly 6,500 pounds of scientific investigations and cargo launched to the International Space Station aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft for the company’s 34th commercial resupply services mission for NASA.
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to lift off at 6:05 p.m. EDT aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, with a cargo-packed Dragon spacecraft atop, stands ready to launch to the International Space Station at 6:05 p.m. EDT today, weather permitting, from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
SpaceX CRS-34, the next mission to resupply the International Space Station, is now targeting its launch for no earlier than 6:05 p.m. EDT on Friday, May 15. Meanwhile, the seven-member crew aboard the orbital outpost stayed focused on microgravity research and lab maintenance throughout Thursday.
NASA and SpaceX now are targeting no earlier than 6:05 p.m. EDT Friday, May 15, for the company’s 34th commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station.
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to lift off at 6:50 p.m. EDT aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
