Dragon cargo mission launched to ISS
Posted: Sun, Apr 27, 2025, 10:11 AM ET (1411 GMT)
A Dragon cargo spacecraft, with more crew supplies and fewer science payloads than usual, launched to the International Space Station Monday. A Falcon 9 lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center at 4:15 am EDT (0815 GMT) Monday, putting the SpX-32 Dragon spacecraft into orbit. It docked with the ISS early Tuesday. The Dragon is carrying more crew supplies like food, and less science, than previous Dragon missions because of the cancellation of a Cygnus cargo mission that was to launch in June after that spacecraft was damaged in transit to the launch site. More than a dozen science investigations that were to launch on SpX-32 were bumped from the flight. NASA said at a prelaunch briefing that the mission ensures there will be sufficient supplies on the station and noted several other cargo missions will be launched to the ISS in the late summer and fall.
