Summary
Tuesday’s undocking is set for about 12:05 p.m. EDT after Cargo Dragon spent 30 days attached to the International Space Station on NASA’s CRS-34 resupply mission.
Thousands of pounds of return cargo include bioprinted organ and cartilage tissue, DNA-inspired cancer-treatment materials, cryogenic fuel-storage experiment data and an ocular imaging device.
Capsule C209 is flying its sixth mission after launching May 15 from Cape Canaveral and docking two days later, when it delivered nearly 6,500 pounds of supplies and equipment to Expedition 74.
Wednesday splashdown is targeted for about 5:08 a.m. PDT off the California coast; NASA will stream the undocking live but not the recovery.
