Resupply mission
SpaceX’s 30th Commercial Resupply Services mission for NASA took flight on March 21, delivering more than 6,200 pounds of cargo to the International Space Station. A diverse array of NASA and partner research projects were on board the Falcon 9, including an investigation into plant metabolism in space, new sensors for the free-flying Astrobee robots, a fluid physics study aimed at advancing solar cell technology, and a Canadian Space Agency university project designed to monitor sea ice and ocean conditions.
