 SpaceX CRS-32 Mission patch | |
SpaceX CRS-32, also known asSpX-32, was aInternational Space Station (ISS) resupply mission operated bySpaceX under NASA’sCommercial Resupply Services (CRS) contract. The mission utilized aCargo Dragon spacecraft, designatedC209, marking the capsule's fifth flight.[1]
The spacecraft was loaded with a total of 3,021 kg (6,660 lb) of cargo, including 2,168 kg (4,780 lb) of pressurized and 750 kg (1,650 lb) of unpressurized payloads.[2]
The cargo manifest is broken down as follows:
Several scientific investigations were delivered to the International Space Station aboard the Cargo Dragon spacecraft. NASA highlighted the following six experiments:[2]
STP Houston 10 flew 6 instruments to the International Space Station to measure the effects of solar radiation, Earth imagery, remote sensing, materials exposure, and astrophysics on the exterior of the station and future aircraft and spacecraft.[3]
Neutron Radiation Detection Instrument
This experiment will measure the effects of solar radiation and cosmic radiation on computer chips to protect them from solar flares and also from EMP.
Falcon ODIN
This experiment will use high speed Earth sensing photography to measure the effects of lightning and also radiation sprites in the upper atmosphere.
TERI and CZT
These experiments are neutron radiation detectors they will measure the pulse of plasma and also radiation on the exterior of the International Space Station.
SEED
These are a series of space exposure experiments which will expose new technologies to the vacuum of space.
SPADE-3
This is a NASA project that will monitor the effects of space weather and also the timing of solar storms.
SFXTI
This experiment will monitor the effects of solar flares and also the dynamics of solar storms. Principal sponsor for this experiment is NASA andMontana State University.
After years of delays theACES experiment is finally flying to the International Space Station. This experiment will mount two atomic clocks onto the exterior of the Columbus module on side plane number four through the life of the International Space Station or when the clocks batteries run out.[4]
