Science Hardware:
Dragon is delivering critical science hardware consisting of experiment hardware coming from the ISS partner agencies. Expedition 34 features a total of 160 experiments including 50 new ones. Dragon is delivering a wealth of hardware to support those. For more on ISS-34 science operations, visit our Expedition Preview that features a detailed overview of a number of studies.
Canadian Space Agency:
European Space Agency:
JAXA Experiments: 3kg
NASA Experiments: 323kg
EVA Hardware: 3kg
Systems Hardware: 135 Kilograms
Environmental and Closed Loop Life Support Systems Hardware:
Crew Health Care System Components:
Flight Crew Equipment:
Computer Hardware: 8kg
Russian Hardware: 0.3kg
External Cargo: 273 (+100) Kilograms - Transported to ISS in the Dragon Trunk Section
SpX-2 is the first Mission of the SpaceX Dragon that carries external cargo to the Space Station using Dragon's Trunk Section.
Dragon will deliver two Heat Rejection Subsystem Grapple Fixtures (HRSGFs) to ISS which are two bars, each equipped with two Flight Releasable Grapple Fixtures. These units will be used to provide grapple fixtures for Canadarm2 when moving ISS radiators in the event of a repair or replacement. The two HRSGFs will be removed from Dragon's trunk by Canadarm2 or the Dextre robot during the docked mission. The two units will be temporarily stowed on the Payload Orbital Replacement Unit Accommodation on the Mobile Base System. During a future spacewalk, the HRSGFs will be attached to the S1 and P1 truss radiators in preparation for future maintenance operations.
The two HRSGFs and their support equipment weigh 273 Kilograms. SpaceX developed the suport structures that were installed in Dragon's trunk to hold the two units in place which adds another 100 Kilograms.
