Dragon Docks to Station, Delivers New Cargo and Solar Arrays (News Release)
While the International Space Station was traveling approximately 270 miles over the coast of Brazil, a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft autonomously docked to the station’s Harmony module at 5:54 a.m. EDT, with NASA astronaut Woody Hoburg monitoring operations.
The SpaceX Dragon launched as part of the company’s 28th contracted commercial resupply services mission for NASA at 11:47 a.m. EDT on June 5, from Launch Complex 39A at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Dragon will spend about three weeks attached to the space station before it returns to Earth with cargo and research.
The SpaceX Dragon has delivered a pair of IROSAs (International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Arrays) that, once installed, will expand the energy-production capabilities of the microgravity complex.
