SpaceX CRS SpX-33 Launch

Launch Time: 2:45 AM EDT

SpaceX Falcon 9 – CRS‑33 (SpX‑33) Cargo Dragon Mission

Rocket: Falcon 9 Block 5
Orbit: Low Earth Orbit (LEO)
Mission Type: Cargo Resupply (Commercial, NASA CRS‑2)

Mission Overview:
SpaceX will conduct its 33rd Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS‑33 / SpX‑33) to the International Space Station (ISS), under a contract with NASA. The mission will utilize a Cargo Dragon spacecraft, carrying thousands of pounds of scientific experiments, supplies, and hardware to support ISS operations and research 

The Dragon spacecraft on this mission features a new trunk-based propulsion system capable of performing an orbital boost while docked to the ISS—part of technology demonstrations coordinated under NASA’s broader Deorbit Vehicle development program 

Recovery:
Upon completion of its station stay, the Cargo Dragon will return to Earth via parachute-assisted splashdown in the ocean. The Falcon 9 first stage is expected to attempt landing on a drone ship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean 

Why It Matters:

• Marks the 33rd SpaceX cargo mission under NASA’s CRS‑2 contract

• Supports ongoing scientific research and ISS resupply needs

• Demonstrates advanced deorbit and in‑orbit propulsion capabilities
