Science on SpaceX's 30th Cargo Resupply Mission | International Space Station
NASA and international partners are scheduled to launch scientific investigations on the 30th SpaceX commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station, including tests of technologies to monitor sea ice, automate 3D mapping, and create nanoparticle solar cells. The company’s Dragon cargo spacecraft is NASA’s SpaceX 30th commercial resupply mission to the station. It is currently scheduled for launch at 4:55 p.m. EDT Thursday, March 21, 2024, from Space Launch Complex 40 in Florida.
The Dragon cargo craft will deliver food, supplies, and new science investigations to the crew, including 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.
