After the successful launch of the NASA 32 commercial show services, new scientific experiments and supplies are linked to the International Space Station.
The Spacex Dragon spacecraft, with approximately 6,700 pounds of goods, was stopped to NASA Laboratory, at 4:15 am US EST, on the company’s Falcon 9 COMPLEX 39a at the Kennedy Space Center in NASA in Florida.
The direct coverage of the arrival of the spacecraft will start at 6:45 am, Tuesday, April 22, NASA+. Learn how to see NASA content with a variety of platforms.
The spacecraft is scheduled to accumulate independently at about 8:20 am to Zenith, or facing the space of the harmony unit at the space station.
The display task will support dozens of research experiments during the 73rd campaign. In addition to the food and the basic equipment of the crew, Dragon performs a variety of scientific experiments, including a display of duplicate maneuvers of free infection robots. Dragon also carries an enhanced air quality control system that can help protect crew members in the tasks of exploration to the moon and Mars, and two atomic hours to study the concepts of basic physics, such as relativity, and a global synchronization test for accuracy hours.
This is just a sample of hundreds of investigations conducted on the orbits laboratory every year in the fields of biological technology, physical sciences, Earth and space science. Such research benefits humanity and helps to lay the foundation for the exploration of man in the future through the ARTEMIS campaign, which will send astronauts to the moon to prepare for the future tasks of Mars.
The dragon spacecraft is scheduled to remain in the orbits laboratory until May, when it will leave and return to Earth through time -sensitive research and goods, and spraying off the coast of California.
