SpaceX launched its 35th Commercial Resupply Services mission to the International Space Station on 13 October 2026.
A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 6:33 a.m. ET from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, carrying a Dragon spacecraft with more than 6,300 pounds of cargo, science experiments and hardware. The payload includes the final pair of Roll-Out Solar Arrays for the station, which astronauts will install during spacewalks later this fall.
Dragon is scheduled to dock autonomously at the zenith port of the Harmony module on 15 October at approximately 11:00 a.m. ET. This is the fourth flight of the Dragon spacecraft used on CRS-35. The first-stage booster completed its eighth flight and landed at Landing Zone 40.
Among the experiments on board are hardware intended to manufacture artificial retinas in microgravity and 3D heart tissue models for drug testing research.
