NASA’s 35th SpaceX Resupply Mission Launches With Station Power Hardware
NASA’s 35th SpaceX commercial resupply mission launched at 6:33 a.m. EDT on October 13 aboard a Falcon 9 carrying more than 6,300 pounds of supplies and hardware. Dragon is scheduled to dock October 15; docking has not yet occurred. The manifest includes the final pair of ISS Roll-Out Solar Arrays, whose later installation is intended to expand power for research, operations and eventual controlled deorbit, along with health and materials experiments. The completed milestone is launch. Arrival, installation, experiment results and return of time-critical cargo remain future steps.
