A cargo ship from the International Space Station has returned to Earth with a variety of scientific experiments on board.
The craft splashed down in the ocean. The 25th cargo mission to the International Space Station will end on August 20. The cargo dragon left the space station at 11:00 a.m. On Friday, August 19th, we traveled back to Earth and arrived on Saturday afternoon.
The Dragon arrived at the International Space Station on July 15th with more than 4,000 pounds of science research and supplies. The results of various scientific experiments that had been conducted on the space station were included in the 4,000 pounds of cargo that was returned to Earth.
Parts of a spacesuit and an Extravehicular Mobility Unit were brought back to Earth after a leak in the helmet of a European Space Agency Astronaut. The incident led to the suspension of spacewalks so that the issue could be investigated. The parts of the spacesuit that Maurer was wearing have been returned for further analysis and to address any possible fixes that may need to be made. There are no planned US operating segment spacewalks in the near future according to the agency.
The results of an investigation into how various materials and components stand up to the orbital environment, as well as a spacesuit cooling system and an experiment into using bio-inks, are included in the Dragon.
