SpaceX CRS-17, also known as SpX-17, was a Commercial Resupply Service mission (CRS) to the International Space Station that was launched aboard a Falcon 9 rocket on 4 May 2019.[5] The mission was contracted by NASA and was flown by SpaceX.
Launch schedule history
In February 2016, it was announced that NASA had awarded a contract extension to SpaceX for five CRS additional missions (CRS-16 to CRS-20).[6] As of June 2016[update], a NASA Inspector General report had this mission manifested for October 2018,[7] but by January 2019 this had been pushed back to April 2019.[8]
Due to Dragon 2 test anomaly on 20 April 2019, SpaceX needed to acquire a permit to allow landing to drone ship, "Of Course I Still Love You". It was stationed just 28 kilometres (17 mi) downrange "to ensure the integrity of the area and preserve valuable information".[9][10]
Primary payload
Total weight of the cargo of CRS-17 mission is 2,482 kg (5,472 lb), consisting of 1,517 kg (3,344 lb) in pressurized section and 965 kg in unpressurized section.[11]
Cargo in unpressurized section include the Orbiting Carbon Observatory 3 (OCO-3) and STP-H6.[11]
