About this episode
In addition to cargo for the crew aboard the space station, Dragon will deliver several new experiments, instruments and science investigations. These include a bone scaffold made from wood that could produce new treatments for fragile bone conditions like osteoporosis, a new instrument to study charged particles around Earth that can impact power grids and satellites, and an investigation that could provide a fundamental understanding of how planets form, among others.
Dragon is scheduled to dock autonomously to the forward port of the station’s Harmony module at about 7:00 a.m. EDT (1100 UTC) on Sunday, May 17. It is scheduled to remain at the space station until mid-June, when it will depart the orbiting laboratory and return to Earth with time-sensitive research and cargo, splashing down off the coast of California.
