The launch Sunday marked the 21st launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket this year, but the first in nearly two months. The gap between launches came as SpaceX paused missions hauling the company’s Starlink internet satellites into orbit. The Starlink missions are scheduled to resume in September, according to Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s president and chief operating officer. (...)
The Dragon cargo ship will deliver 4,866 pounds (2,207 kilograms) of supplies and experiments. The mission marks SpaceX’s 23rd resupply flight to the space station since 2012 under contract to NASA.
It will be the third flight of an upgraded variant of SpaceX’s Dragon cargo ship based the company’s human-rated capsule. It’s the second mission for this particular spacecraft.
Besides fresh food, including ice cream and other treats, the Cargo Dragon is set to deliver an array of technology demonstration, materials science, and biomedical experiments to the space station.
They include a small robotic arm from GITAI Japan Inc., a Japanese company, to demonstrate in-space tasks that could lead to development of future robots to assist astronauts on long-duration space missions. The arm will run through its demonstrations, including switch and cable operations and in-space assembly experiments, inside the commercial Bishop airlock owned Nanoracks.
Some of the tasks will be autonomous, while others will be tele-operated from Nanoracks’ facility in Houston, according to GITAI. (...)
There are also multiple CubeSats stowed inside the Cargo Dragon’s pressurized compartment. They will be robotically deployed outside the space station in the coming weeks and months. (...)

First used last 15 November to lift Dragon Resilience and Crew-1 astronauts Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker and Soichi Noguchi to the ISS, the B1061 core chalked up a second human-carrying mission on 23 April when she boosted Dragon Endeavour and the Crew-2 team of Shane Kimbrough, Megan McArthur, Aki Hoshide and Thomas Pesquet into orbit.
More recently, the booster lofted SiriusXM’s powerful SXM-8 broadcasting satellite on the first leg of its trek to geostationary orbit on 6 June. After several weeks of on-orbit tests, SXM-8 was declared fully functional last month by prime contractor Maxar and has now been handed over to SiriusXM for routine operations.
Today’s flight was the 21st Falcon 9 mission in the first eight months of the year, equaling SpaceX’s achievement from the entirety of 2018, but falling shy of its “personal best” of 26 launches, set last December. (...)
