The Dragon carries needed crew supplies and equipment, along with two roll-out solar array blankets.
A SpaceX Dragon cargo ship loaded with 7,000 pounds of supplies and equipment, including two add-on roll-out solar blankets, thundered away from the Kennedy Space Center atop a Falcon 9 rocket Monday, kicking off an 18-hour trip to the International Space Station.
If all goes well, the ship will carry out a series of automated rendezvous rocket firings to catch up with its quarry Tuesday morning, moving in for docking at the Harmony module's space-facing port at 5:50 a.m. The two new IROSAs will be pulled out of the Dragon's open trunk by the station's robot arm and mounted near the right end of the station's solar power truss. Astronauts Steve Bowen and Woody Hoburg plan to install them during spacewalks on June 9 and 15.
