The Cargo Dragon launched with 5,800 lb (2,600 kg) of crew supplies, tools, and scientific equipment to support NASA and ISS research. It utilizes the Falcon 9 rocket as its launch vehicle which detaches from the Dragon once it reaches orbit. The Cargo Dragon is a cargo spacecraft designed by SpaceX, and it is currently the only spacecraft capable of not only sending cargo into space but also returning cargo back to Earth. The entire affected area of the spacecraft was removed and investigated before proceeding with the launch. Delay Īccording to NASA, elevated levels of monomethyl hydrazine (MMH) vapor were detected in the spacecraft’s propulsion system, causing the launch mission to be delayed for repairs. The SpX-25 mission lasted 36 days, 18 hours and 9 minutes, coming down off the Florida coast on August 20, 2022. SpX-25 was launched on J(0:44 Universal Time) on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This flight was the 25th resupply flight of cargo sent to the International Space Station. SpX-25 was a Commercial Resupply Service mission to the International Space Station (ISS).
The previously scheduled launch date was June 10. The launch of CRS-25 was delayed to July 11 to investigate issues in the Dragon's propulsion system detected during pre-launch testing. The vehicle delivered supplies to the crew aboard the ISS along with multiple pieces of equipment that will be used to conduct multiple research investigations aboard the ISS. The mission was contracted by NASA and was flown by SpaceX using their reusable spacecraft, the Cargo Dragon. SpaceX CRS-25, also known as SpX-25, was a Commercial Resupply Service mission (CRS) to the International Space Station (ISS) that was launched on 15 July 2022.
