SpaceX launched the Crew Resupply Mission 28 (CRS-28) mission to the International Space Station (ISS) on June 5 at 11:47 PM EDT (15:47 UTC) from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The window for this launch was instantaneous, which put pay to Sunday’s initial attempt due to high winds in the booster recovery zone. However, Monday’s launch conditions were acceptable.
CRS-28 will resupply the ISS with equipment and supplies needed by Station astronauts and hardware for the coming months, as well as science experiments developed by different agencies, companies, and organizations from around the world. Furthermore, tucked away in Dragon’s trunk are two new iROSA solar panels for the Station.
