Dragon cargo ship arrives at the ISS with new science payloads

SpaceX's CRS-34 Dragon cargo capsule docked autonomously at the International Space Station’s Harmony module at 6:37 a.m. EDT, carrying about 6,500 pounds of cargo and science experiments, including bone scaffolding research for osteoporosis, Earth-mimicking microgravity studies, red blood cell and spleen research, a charged-particle instrument to study near‑Earth space, and a device to measure sunlight reflected by Earth and the Moon. NASA astronaut Jack Hathaway and ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot watched from the Cupola as the crew prepares to unpack the science and supplies over the coming weeks and then return results, equipment and waste to Earth in mid‑June.
