![]() ![]() Both experiments – the Cardinal Heart 2.0 and Engineered Heart Tissues-2 – use small devices containing living cells that mimic functions of heart tissues and organs to understand the role of microgravity on human health and use this information to improve health on Earth.ĭragon will spend about a month attached to the space station before autonomously undocking and returning to Earth with research and return cargo, splashing down in the off the coast of Florida. In addition to delivering station supplies, fresh food, and hardware, Dragon also will deliver multiple science and research investigations, including the final two experiments of the National Institutes for Health and International Space Station National Laboratory’s Tissue Chips in Space initiative. Docking is scheduled for approximately 7:52 a.m. Live coverage of Dragon’s arrival will air on NASA TV, the NASA app, and the agency’s website beginning at 6:15 a.m. Upon its arrival, it will autonomously dock to the station’s Harmony module, with NASA astronaut Woody Hoburg monitoring operations. A series of thruster firings will help Dragon reach the space station about 36 hours later. EDT, beginning SpaceX’s 27th resupply services mission to the orbiting laboratory.ĭragon is now safely in orbit. The company’s Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Launch Complex 39A at 8:30 p.m. SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft – carrying several thousand pounds of critical science, hardware, and crew supplies – is on its way to the International Space Station following a successful launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, with the company’s Dragon spacecraft atop, lifts off from NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A in Florida on March 14, 2023, beginning the company’s 27th resupply services mission to the International Space Station. 27.įollow NASA’s commercial crew blog for the latest information on Crew-7 flight readiness.ĭetails about the mission and NASA’s Commercial Crew Program can be found by following the commercial crew blog, on Twitter, and commercial crew on Facebook. If needed, Crew-7 has additional launch opportunities on Saturday, Aug. 26, to the space-facing port of the station’s Harmony module. NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Andreas Mogensen, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket aboard the company’s Dragon spacecraft.Ĭrew-7 is scheduled to dock to the orbiting laboratory about 2:45 a.m. The adjustment also takes advantage of consecutive launch opportunities and deconflicts the station’s cargo spacecraft traffic schedule. Additional time was required for teams to complete pad readiness after SpaceX’s recent Falcon Heavy mission lifted off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. ![]() The target launch date for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-7 mission to the International Space Station now is 3:49 a.m. 25 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
