Launch
The launch took place on April 2, 2018 at 20:30 UTC [4] .
Convergence and Docking
On April 4, 2018 at 10:40 UTC [1] NASA astronauts Scott Tingle and Norishige Kanai captured the truck with the Canadaarm mechanical manipulator. Then at 13:00 UTC [1] under control from the Earth, the truck was successfully docked to the Harmony module [5] .
Payload
Dragon delivered 2647 kg of payload to the ISS .
In the pressurized compartment delivered 1721 kg (including packaging), including [6] [7] :
- Provisions and things for the crew - 344 kg
- Materials for scientific research - 1070 kg
- Equipment for EVA - 99 kg
- Station equipment and details - 148 kg
- Computers and accessories - 49 kg
- Russian cargo - 11 kg
In an unpressurized container, the cargo with a total weight of 926 kg was delivered to the ISS:
- MISSE-FF ( Materials on ISS Experiment - F light F acility ) is a platform that includes up to 14 replaceable modules for placing samples of various materials on the outside of the ISS in order to study the effect of open space and microgravity conditions on them [8] .
- ASIM ( Atmosphere-Space I nteractions M onitor ) is a tool of the European Space Agency to study the phenomenon of electrical discharges that occurs in the upper atmosphere and near-Earth outer space. The mass of the equipment is 314 kg. It will be placed on the outer surface of the Columbus module [9] .
- PFCS ( P ump F low C ontrol S ubassembly ) - a spare component of the station thermoregulation system. Mass - 107 kg [10] .
