by SpaceX on the early Sunday started his 33rd mission to resume the international space station and sent a kite capsule with 2.5 tons of devices and supplies together with an add-on thrust kit to maintain the amount of the laboratory.
On a Falcon 9 Rocket work animal, the commercial replenishment mission was 33 at 2:45 a.m. by the Cape Canaveral Space Force station and climbed on a northeastern trajectory that was lined with the orbit of the space station.
Nine minutes and 45 seconds later, in a few moments after the first step thrown away, the dragon landed from the second stage of the rocket and started a 29-hour rendezvous with the surrounding laboratory complex.
If everything goes well, the cargo ship will be docked at the starting harbor of the station on Monday at 7:30 a.m. On board: more than £ 2,400 crew supplies, almost £ 1,000 scientific equipment, 1,300 pound Space Station hardware, computer equipment and spacewalk equipment.
The food includes the usual selection of fresh, sought -after objects for the crew, including coffee, tea and more than 1,500 tortillas.
“We fly tortillas because … other bread and such things too many bends and things of this kind (which float in weightlessness), so that they cannot maintain it in orbit,” said Bill Spetch, ISS operations and integration managers. “Tortillas are a big replacement for this.”
Heidi Parris, Associate Program Scientist of the Space Station, found that NASA will mark on board the laboratory for 25 years on board the laboratory for 25 years.
In this quarter of a century she said: “We have organized more than 280 inhabitants, we have made more than 4,000 different … scientific experiments and technological demonstrations (representations) of over 5,000 researchers from over 110 countries around the world.”
The CRS-33 mission will bring 50 research projects to the laboratory, including a new study on the effects of microgravity on bone loss, a 3D metal printer in order to evaluate the ability to manufacture spare parts and instruments in space and an experiment to examine the effectiveness of 3D-biofinting.
“This investigation … wants to create a 3D printed implantable medical device that can support nerve growth after an injury by closing the gap to re-connection separated nerves and at the same time provides medication that can support nerve regeneration,” said Parris.
Of particular interest in NASA is the performance of an add-on drive system, which consists of two SpaceX draco engines, six drifts and a supply with helium to the pressure level of the system. The hardware is mounted in the open section over the room of the kite with an open space.
“The height of the space station slowly falls over time due to the thin amount of atmosphere in our height,” said Spetch. “In order to counteract this resistance, we occasionally have to increase the amount of the ISS.”
The Russians take care of the majority of these new bonds, deliver the necessary busts and shoot engines on board on board and the station itself at regular intervals.
“With the addition of the Boost tribe on this mission, Dragon will also offer this opportunity to maintain the amount of the station,” said Spetch. “The Boost kit will help to receive the height of the circulation space from September with a number of burns in autumn 2025.”
The CRS-33 dragon remains in the station until December. During this time, the boost kit offers one and a half progress missions.
Sarah Walker, director of the Dragon Mission Management at SpaceX, said that the boost kit would offer about a quarter of the drive drive required in one year to maintain the 260 miles high height of the ward. The first “burn”, which is expected to take about 20 minutes, is planned for September 3.
