About this episode
This episode discusses the SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft's mission to the International Space Station, including its cargo and scientific experiments.
After a successful launch on May 15, 2026, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft will rendezvous with and dock to the International Space Station. The spacecraft, which is carrying about 6,500 pounds of cargo, is scheduled to dock autonomously at around 6:38 a.m. EDT (1038 UTC). Dragon will deliver several new experiments, instruments and science investigations. These include a bone scaffold made from wood that could produce new treatments for fragile bone conditions like osteoporosis, a new instrument to study charged particles around the Earth that can impact power grids and satellites, and an investigation that could provide a fundamental understanding of how planets form, among others. The spacecraft is scheduled to remain at the space station until mid-June, when it will depart the orbiting laboratory and return to Earth with time-sensitive research and cargo, splashing down off the coast of California.
