Article Summaries:

  • NASA will receive scientific samples and hardware from a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft as it departs the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday, Feb. 26. The 33rd Commercial Resupply Services mission will undock at 12:05 p.m. EST, autonomously moving away from the Harmony module before splashing down off California’s coast at 11:44 p.m. PST. The cargo includes experiments on material aging, liquid crystals, stem‑cell biology, low‑cost instrumentation, and a portable blood‑analysis kit, all of which could inform future spacecraft design and deep‑space missions. NASA will stream the undocking on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and YouTube, but not the splashdown.
  • NASA and its international partners will receive a suite of scientific samples and hardware when a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft departs the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday, Feb. 26. The 33rd Commercial Resupply Services mission will undock from the Harmony module at 12:05 p.m. EST, perform a safe departure, and splash down off California’s coast at 11:44 p.m. PST. Returning experiments include the Euro Material Ageing study, Thailand’s Liquid Crystals test, frozen samples from the Stellar Stem Cells Mission 2, and the SpaceDuino vibration monitor. Dragon also demonstrated a new reboost capability, having completed six station‑boost maneuvers during its stay. NASA will stream the undocking but not the splashdown, posting updates on its blog.
  • NASA will broadcast the undocking and return of its 33rd SpaceX Commercial Resupply Services mission on Thursday, Feb. 26. A Dragon spacecraft will autonomously detach from the ISS’s Harmony module at 12:05 p.m. EST, perform a series of reboost maneuvers to maintain station altitude, and splash down off California’s coast at 11:44 p.m. PST. The vehicle carries scientific samples from studies on material aging, liquid crystals, stem cells, vibration sensing, and portable diagnostics, all aimed at improving future spacecraft design and space‑based medicine. NASA will stream the departure on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and YouTube, with splash‑down updates posted on its blog.
