SpaceX Cargo Dragon Does it Again!
SpaceX Cargo Dragon Has DONE IT AGAIN!
Hello dear YouTube family, and welcome back to our channel. As usual, we always keep you updated with the latest news and everything related to the Space niche world. Yes, that’s right. In today′s episode, we will look at what is all concerned with SpaceX Cargo Dragon joining Crew Dragon at the International Space Station. Stay tuned, and let's find out.
While the International Space Station was traveling about 260 miles over Western Australia, a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft autonomously docked to the forward-facing port of the orbiting laboratory’s Harmony module at 10:30 a.m. EDT, Monday, August 30. Flight Engineers Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur of NASA monitored operations.
SpaceX’s 23rd contracted cargo resupply mission with NASA to the International Space Station delivered more than 4,800 pounds of science, research, crew supplies, and vehicle hardware, to the orbital laboratory and its crew. This is the third mission under SpaceX’s Commercial Resupply Services-2 contract with NASA. The launch was targeted for Saturday, August 28 at 3:37 a.m. EDT, but was scrubbed due to weather. Instead, it launched on Sunday, August 29 at 3:14 a.m. EDT.
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will send the company’s Dragon spacecraft, filled with over 4,800 pounds of research, crew supplies, and hardware to the space station to support expeditions 65 and 66.
“We have a new visitor on Space Station! The SpaceX Dragon cargo vehicle just arrived this morning loaded with science and goodies. Time to unpack!” NASA astronaut Kimbrough said. The supplies the crew will unpack include materials needed to conduct dozens of scientific experiments in microgravity. The U.S. youth group ‘Girl Scouts’ sent up some control experiments to study plant growth, and ant colonization, and the brine shrimp lifecycle in microgravity. The Girl Scouts research supplies are delivered inside a special device designed to safely transport and host research in microgravity, called ProXopS Faraday Research Facility. It's the first time the device is used at ISS. The Faraday device also hosts an experiment (Faraday-NICE) for the Houston Methodist Research Institute, which will test a new implantable remote-controlled medicine delivery system in microgravity. "The device could provide an alternative to bulky, cumbersome infusion pumps, a possible game-changer for long-term management of chronic conditions on Earth. Remote-controlled drug delivery could simplify administration for people with limitations," NASA said.
Dragon also delivered the materials needed to research the effects of microgravity and space radiation on the growth of bones. The experiment is called 'Reducing Arthritis Dependent Inflammation First Phase' (READI FP) "This study could improve scientists’ understanding of the physical changes that cause bone loss and identify potential countermeasures," the agency states, "This insight also could contribute to prevention and treatment of bone loss on Earth, particularly in post-menopausal women."
Four astronauts on board Elon Musk’s SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft have successfully docked at the International Space Station (ISS) for a six-month mission.
