NASA's Space to Ground: CRS-30 Launch | Week of March 22, 2024

NASA's Space to Ground: CRS-30 Launch | Week of March 22, 2024

NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched the CRS-30 Dragon spacecraft from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral in Florida on March 21, 2024 at 4:55pm. NASA and international partners are sending scientific investigations on the 30th SpaceX commercial resupply services mission, including tests of technologies to monitor sea ice, automate 3D mapping, and to create nanoparticle solar cells. 

The Dragon cargo craft will also deliver food and supplies, as well as a set of sensors for the free-flying Astrobee robots and a new botany experiment to examine how two types of grass capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. 

Dragon will autonomously dock to the zenith port of the Harmony module at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, March 23.
