SpaceX’s CRS-26 Dragon cargo ship is set to resupply the International Space Station. It will launch atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Following liftoff, the capsule will take about a day to reach the ISS where it is expected to autonomously dock with the space-facing port of the Harmony module.
CRS-26 carries with it, among other things, two new roll-out solar arrays for the orbiting laboratory.
Orbital Velocity is designed to be "living time capsule" about the International Space Station.
This project is an attempt to bridge an information gap between space agencies and companies, as well as a public that supports space endeavors with their tax dollars. Despite the importance of the space station, the general public doesn't always know what is happening aboard this amazing complex on a regular basis. Research being conducted isn't always readily available and what information is out there can sometimes be difficult to understand. Some people aren't even aware there is an active space program, let alone a space station.
Orbital Velocity hopes to change that by building a database of information through blogs, a website, small videos and longer documentary-like series'.
