A SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft carrying greater than 3,500 kilograms of science experiments, crew provides and different cargo efficiently landed on the Worldwide House Station at 7.39 AM EST (6.09 PM IST) on November 27. This mission marks the 26 industrial resupply missions by SpaceX.
When the CRS-26 cargo Dragon arrived, six spaceships had been parked on the house station which now contains the Cygnus house freighter, a Crew dragon, the Russian Soyuz MS-22 crew ship and the Progress 81 and Progress 82 resupply ships. SpaceX’s Dragon cargo spacecraft was launched from the Kennedy House Heart at 2:20 PM IST on November 26. (12:50 AM IST on November 27)
Including solar energy to the house station
SpaceX’s twenty sixth industrial resupply mission introduced a set of two Worldwide House Station Roll-Out Photo voltaic Arrays (iROSA) to the house station. These photo voltaic panels function utilizing kinetic vitality and are meant to develop the house station’s vitality manufacturing capabilities. These new iROSA arrays will probably be along with one other set dropped at the house station on SpaceX’s twenty second industrial resupply mission in 2021.

Mission science experiment
In addition to photo voltaic arrays and crew provides, the Dragon cargo spacecraft additionally carries many essential science experiments to the Worldwide House Station. Considered one of them is the “Moon microscope,” which is a equipment designed for in-flight medical prognosis. It consists of a hand-held microscope and a small blood sampling system.
The Moon microscope was designed to permit astronauts to gather and stain blood samples and transmit photos to Earth. These photos can be utilized by medical doctors to diagnose illnesses and prescribe therapies.
One other science mission aboard is Veg-05 which can try and develop dwarf tomatoes in house. At present, astronauts in house depend on pre-packaged meals produced on Earth however in keeping with NASA, this could possibly be supplemented with contemporary meals grown in house sooner or later.
Among the different experiments aboard the house station embrace BioNutrients-2, which is testing a system to supply vitamins utilizing yoghurt and different producers, Falcon Googles, which is an experiment geared toward serving to scientists to know the impact of various gravities on individuals. eye
