Overview

• The unpiloted Dragon arrived ahead of schedule at 7:05 a.m. EDT, docking at the Harmony module’s forward port after a 28-hour rendezvous.
• Launched Aug. 24 at 2:45 a.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral, the Falcon 9 first stage completed a droneship landing on A Shortfall of Gravitas on its seventh flight.
• Dragon carries an independent propellant system in its trunk feeding two Draco engines, with the first planned reboost burn on Sept. 3 and additional burns through the fall.
• NASA expects Dragon to handle the majority of station reboosts during this stay, a capability officials say is roughly 1.5 times that of a Progress, informing work on a U.S. Deorbit Vehicle.
• More than 5,000 pounds of cargo arrived, including experiments on 3D metal printing, bioprinted liver tissue, bone-forming stem cells, and materials to 3D-print medical implants; the mission also marks the 50th Dragon to reach the ISS and the third flight of capsule C211.
