NASA - The 31st SpaceX commercial resupply

The 31st SpaceX commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station lifted off on a Falcon 9 rocket from our Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 9:29 p.m. EST, Monday, Nov. 4 (0229 UTC, Tuesday, Nov. 5), delivering science investigations, supplies, and holiday food to the orbiting lab. SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft carried several new experiments to the station, including the Coronal Diagnostic Experiment, to examine solar wind and how it forms. Dragon also delivered Antarctic moss to observe the combined effects of cosmic radiation and microgravity on plants. Other investigations include a device to test cold welding of metals in microgravity and an investigation that studies how space impacts different materials.

In preparation for SpaceX’s 29th commercial resupply services launch to the International Space Station for NASA, the company’s Falcon 9 rocket, with the Dragon spacecraft atop, is raised to a vertical position at Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A in Florida on Wednesday, Nov. 8, 2023.
