An uncrewed Dragon cargo ship has arrived at the International Space Station carrying a variety of scientific experiments and supplies for the crew. The Dragon craft was launched. The cargo was carried from Launch Complex 39A to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The Dragon docked at the International Space Station at 11:21 a.m. on Saturday. There is an hour and a half later. Two current members of the International Space Station crew oversaw the docking procedure.
The sun can be seen rising over the Earth from space when the Dragon craft approaches the International Space Station. The crew members of the International Space Station see an average of 16 sunrises and sunsets a day.
The Dragon craft can be seen against the sunrise over the curve of the planet.

This was the 25th mission to the space station launched by the company, and it is the third time that this craft has traveled to the International Space Station. The Dragon will stay at the International Space Station for another month. After that, it will be filled with research results and sent back to Earth.
A variety of scientific topics were covered in the experiments that flew to the station this weekend. Fresh fruits and vegetables are a treat for people who have to live mostly with pre-packaged food. The crew received apples, oranges, cherry tomatoes, onions, baby carrots, garlic, tahini, cheese, and dried sausage.
One of the most in-demand foods among space station astronauts is condiments. Some people's tastes change when they live in space. If astronauts aren't motivated to eat, their body mass can decline and their health can suffer It is possible to enhance the flavor of food with condiments. Experiments are being done to see if astronauts can grow their own chiles to make their food taste better.
