Updated June 5: SpaceX has delayed the launch of the CRS-28 cargo mission as soon as possible Today (June 5) at 11:47 AM EST (15:47 GMT) Because of the high winds in the missile recovery area. The launch was scheduled to take place Sunday, just four hours following SpaceX launched another Falcon 9 of 22 V2 Starlink satellites from a nearby pad at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
SpaceX will launch the 28th cargo mission to NASA’s International Space Station on Monday, June 5 following a two-day weather delay, and you can watch the event live.
a SpaceX A Falcon 9 rocket is now scheduled to launch a Dragon robotic cargo capsule to the orbiting laboratory on Monday at 11:47 a.m. EST (3:47 p.m. GMT) From NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The launch was originally scheduled for Saturday (June 3), but SpaceX announced a 24-hour delay until the early hours, citing the need to “allow more time for vehicle preparations and weather improvements.” Twitter update. On Sunday, June 4, SpaceX announced Another day lateCiting high winds in the missile recovery area.
You can watch the launch here on Space.com, courtesy of NASA, or directly through space agency SpaceX. The SpaceX webcast will begin approximately 20 minutes before liftoff. There is no guarantee of that the Dragon You will take off in time, however; In fact, there is a 40% chance that the weather won’t cooperate on Monday. If the launch does not take place on Monday, the next opportunity will appear Wednesday (June 7) 11:01 a.m. EST (3:01 p.m. GMT).

the Falcon 9 The unmanned Dragon capsule will be carried into orbit on the rendezvous trajectory of the International Space Station (ISS). After the phases separate, the Falcon 9 first stage will backfire and land on SpaceX’s A Shortfall of Gravitas self-driving drone, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Dragon cargo ship will spend just over 40 hours on an intercept course with International Space Station. You can also watch the capsule dock with the orbiting lab here on Space.com when the time comes.
The Dragon will carry a few thousand pounds of scientific research supplies and provisions for the station’s crew. Northrop Grumman launch delayed swan The International Space Station’s resupply vehicle, NG-19, prompted NASA to transfer some of the cargo planned for this mission to Dragon to prevent the space station’s cache from shrinking too much.
During a pre-launch press conference on Tuesday, May 30, NASA’s chief scientist for the International Space Station, Curt Costello, said CRS-28 “makes up for the delay we had in getting the NG Cygnus spacecraft to the station.” So we’re sending a lot of extra logistical supplies to the crew so they can go on all year long. »
Scientific research aboard CRS-28 brings new experiments to the International Space Station, as well as rebuilding materials for more than 30 projects in progress. A demonstration of CLINGER’s technology for docking systems for autonomous space stations, MicrogravityInduced telomere DNA mutation and blue energy storm discharge research are some of the new science experiments taking place on this mission.
Half a dozen cubes Also hidden aboard the CRS-28 Dragon, all but one of which are student-led projects from the Canadian Space Agency’s Cubeaat program. The sixth comes from the Space Foundation, in partnership with the Air Force Research Laboratory and Space Systems Command. It’s called Moonlighter and it will provide a platform for the space cyber security hack challenge.
CRS-28 also carries the next pair of iROSAs (International Space Station Solar Arrays), which are attached on top of the ISS’ existing solar arrays to increase the station’s power requirements. It will be removed from the Dragon’s vault using the station’s robotic arm and then installed by NASA astronauts over the course of two years Spacewalk. Once operational, iROSA’s full complement will increase the orbiting laboratory’s power supply by 20 to 30%.
SpaceX’s Dragon cargo ship is designed as a reusable vehicle and will return scientific samples from more than 34 surveys to the International Space Station at the end of its stay on the station. Like its manned counterpart, the Dragon cargo ship returns to Earth for gentle ocean spray with the help of a parachute.
