SpaceX's Cargo Dragon is MORE GENIUS than you may think!
The International Space Station just received a supplies shipment which was taken aboard none other than the Cargo Dragon. It often gets outshined in the news by the Starship but there is no doubt that it is more genius than anyone could have thought. Dubbed as Mission CSR-23, SpaceX has loaded up its spacecraft with a payload that has all kinds of different things. Most of them will shock you and you may wonder if they even belong on the ISS or were they sent just by mistake. Even the US girl scouts were sure to send something, What are the details and purpose of Mission CSR-23? What items are sent inside the cargo?
The video today will first go into every detail of crew dragon and all that was about it and the endless new avenues that have opened for scientific research. Next, We will talk about the high demand for spacecraft and all the reasons that make it so special. The last part of the video will go over the progress SpaceX has made in the last few years and how the company has contributed to Space exploration.

Comments are most welcomed and the best ones will get featured in one of our upcoming videos
Mission CSR-23
SpaceX has sent its 23rd commercial resupply vessel to the international space station. The launch was planned for 28th august but got delayed for one day and finally happened on the 29th. A falcon 9 was strapped to a cargo dragon to send 2170 kilograms of hardware and supplies to the ISS. The payload contained a lot of things but the avocados, ants, and a robotic arm stood out. There are also several scientific types of equipment that will be performing microgravity functions. Even the US girl scouts sent some packages. One of them included some plants that are to be studied. These are sent in specially designed containment units made by Faraday Research. The crew dragon joined the ISS last Saturday and was launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The Crew Dragon will play part in a very vital scientific study called Reducing Arthritis Dependant Inflammation first phase. It will test the effect of zero gravity and space radiations on bone density. The results from this will help scientists better understand diseases like osteoporosis. NASA states that this will help humans find cures and preventions for bone loss-related issues.
There are now two SpaceX vessels at the ISS. One is the cargo dragon and the other is the crew dragon which arrived there some time back with NASA’s astronauts Shane Kimbrough, Akihito Hoshinde, Thomas Pasque, and McArthur. They reached the space lab back in April of 2021.
A very intriguing part of the payload is the experimental robotic arm made by the Japanese startup called Gitai Inc. The function of this would be to do mundane chores like screwing things together. Tomotaka Kozuki, the chief technology officer of Gitai Inc. said that Its initial testings will be done on tasks inside the ISS but the company plans to make future variants that can go out in space and get dangerous repair and service tasks done.
We all can just wonder how eagerly Musk must be working to get the Tesla bots ready to be sent to space after this. There were also many other experiments SpaceX had planned to do but they faced delays due to the global health crisis going on.
High demand for Cargo Dragon
It is not the government sector that is in love with the crew dragon, but the private sector also wants a piece. The first all civilian space flight will be done onboard this spacecraft. It will take place later in September and will be commanded by Billionaire Jared Isaacman. The inspiration4 mission will have a crew of four people and will go on a journey near the moon for three days. One very special thing about the crew is that one member is a bone cancer survivor and will be the first person to ever go to space with prosthetic body parts. SpaceX has added a glass dome to the space vessel instead of the docking equipment as it will not be docking with the ISS.
The SpaceX Dragon has become all the hype lately due to its capabilities and versatility. Currently, there are three main applications for it but we will get to see more in the future. Firstly, it has been used as a cargo vessel to the different locations in the orbit of the earth. Secondly, the crew dragon has successfully taken astronauts to and from the ISS. Thirdly, it will host a space journey with the Inspiration4 crew very soon. This shows how much research and development went into making this special machine.
Another win for SpaceX that makes its rockets and spacecraft so special is the success of A Shortfall of gravitas. ASOG is a floating drone made by the company to catch boosters at sea.
