SpaceX CRS-33 resupply mission for NASA
Next up is a SpaceX resupply mission to the International Space Station for NASA.
Set for no earlier than 2:45 a.m. Sunday, August 24, the mission is known as CRS-33. The mission is SpaceX’s 33rd ISS resupply mission for NASA.
The cargo mission includes a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft full of supplies and science for the astronauts onboard the ISS. The resupply spacecraft will be launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 40 in Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
With the spacecraft headed to the International Space Station, the rocket will fly on a northeast trajectory upon liftoff.
While docked to the ISS, the Dragon spacecraft will do something new − it will use a new propulsion system to give a boost to the space station, slightly raising its orbit over a period of time.
