SpaceX CRS-25 Cargo Dragon Docking | International Space Station
The SpaceX Dragon resupply ship (CRS-25) carrying over 5,800 pounds of new science experiments and crew supplies docked with the International Space Station on Saturday, July 16, 2022. The spacecraft is expected to spend about a month attached to the orbiting outpost before it returns to Earth with research and return cargo, splashing down off the coast of Florida.
NASA Flight Engineers Jessica Watkins and Bob Hines spent Monday, July 18, 2022, unloading some of the science experiments and crew supplies delivered. The duo transferred time-critical research samples into the orbital lab to begin exploring a variety of space phenomena to benefit humans on and off the Earth. Some of the new experiments include a human immune system study, a protein production investigation, and a cancer treatment experiment.
