SpaceX's 35th NASA resupply mission will carry IROSA arrays

The 35th SpaceX commercial resupply services mission for NASA will fly on a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Dragon's cargo includes International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Arrays and microgravity research payloads.

The flight is the 35th SpaceX commercial resupply services mission and is flown for NASA under a NASA-SpaceX partnership. It is assigned to a Falcon 9 launching from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Media accreditation is open, but credentialing is limited to U.S. media.

Dragon will deliver International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Arrays, which are intended to provide additional power for a safe and controlled deorbit.

Other cargo includes hardware for making artificial retinas in microgravity, 3D heart cell models, brain organoids, and materials for studying how a new type of glass forms in microgravity.

Each resupply mission carries scientific investigations. These include biology and biotechnology, Earth and space science, physical sciences, and work to develop and demonstrate technologies.

Cargo resupply from U.S. companies is described as a national capability.

For readers tracking the lunar industry, the mission shows cargo resupply from U.S. companies is a national capability, with SpaceX flying for NASA.

It also delivers solar arrays tied to additional power for a safe and controlled deorbit and carries microgravity science in biology, materials, and technology development.

The Roll-Out Solar Arrays are slated for installation during a future spacewalk.
