Mission

Falcon 9 launched CRS-⁠35 aboard Cargo Dragon C211 from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-⁠40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. After stage separation, the first stage landed at Landing Zone 40 (LZ-⁠40).

Before the flight

35th commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station operated by SpaceX. The flight will be conducted under the second Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA.

Cargo Dragon 2 brings supplies and payloads, including critical materials to directly support science and research investigations that occur onboard the orbiting laboratory.

Mission briefing from SpaceX

On Tuesday, October 13 at 6:33 a.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched Dragon’s 35th Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-⁠35) mission to the International Space Station from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-⁠40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. After an approximate 52-⁠hour flight, Dragon autonomously docked with the orbiting laboratory on Thursday, October 15 at 10:27 a.m. ET.

CRS-⁠35 is the fourth flight for the Dragon spacecraft supporting this mission, which previously flew CRS-⁠26, CRS-⁠29, and CRS-⁠33 to and from the space station.

This was the eighth flight of the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched KF-⁠01, IMAP, NROL-⁠77, GPS III-⁠9, CRS-⁠34, NROL-⁠95, and one Starlink mission. Following stage separation, the first stage landed on Landing Zone 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
