SpaceX Dragon CRS-25 Resupply Ship Undocking | International Space Station

The SpaceX Dragon resupply ship, packed with over 4,000 pounds of return cargo and science experiments for analysis, backs away from the International Space Station moments after undocking from the Harmony module's forward port on August 19, 2022. The station was soaring into an orbital sunrise 260 miles above Hawaii's big island in the Pacific Ocean at the time of this photograph.

SpaceX’s uncrewed Dragon cargo spacecraft splashed down at 2:53 p.m. EDT Saturday, Aug. 20, 2022, north of Cape Canaveral off the Florida coast, marking the return of the company’s 25th contracted cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station for NASA. The spacecraft carried more than 4,000 pounds of valuable scientific experiments and other cargo back to Earth.

An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the International Space Station (ISS). The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.
