NASA and SpaceX launched the 28th commercial resupply mission of the Cargo Dragon from Launch Complex 39A at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Liftoff occurred at 11:47 a.m. EDT, June 5, 2023. SpaceX's Dragon will deliver new science investigations, food, supplies, and equipment to the International Space Station for the crew, including the next pair of IROSAs (International Space Station Roll Out Solar Arrays). These solar panels, which roll out using stored kinetic energy, will expand the energy-production capabilities of the space station. This will be the third set launching in the SpaceX Dragon's trunk, and once installed, will help provide a 20% to 30% increase in power for space station research and operations.

Radish plants are pictured growing inside the Columbus laboratory module's Advanced Plant Habitat. Leaf samples were collected and stowed afterward for analysis so scientists can understand how microgravity affects the growth of plants. Space botany helps NASA and its international partners learn to sustain healthy crews on long-term missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond.
