- Cargo Dragons lift off from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station
- Arrays boost station power for research and future deorbit planning
- Experiments have included artificial retinas, heart tissue models, and brain organoids
Every resupply launch is a reminder that the Space Station’s story still runs through Florida. Visitors who watch a CRS liftoff are watching the supply chain for humanity’s orbital laboratory.
