B1092.3 and C209.5NASA’s SpaceX 32nd Commercial Resupply Mission Overview [Apr 16]QuoteHardwareLaunch: • Catalytic Reactor – The catalytic reactor replacement unit oxidizes volatile organics from the wastewater so they can be removed by the gas separator and ion exchange bed replacement units as part of the station’s water recycling system. This unit failed in orbit and is being returned for analysis and refurbishment. This unit is being launched as an in-orbit spare. • Food Reach Tool Assembly – An L-shaped, hand-held tool that allows crew members to reach packages in the back of the food warmer without having to insert their hands. This tool is launching to replace a unit in orbit. • Reducer Cylinder Assembly – A cylinder tank that provides 15 minutes of oxygen to a crew member in case of an emergency. Launching two units as in-orbit spares. • Thermal Expansion Device – A device used to allow for thermal expansion of water within the Hydrogen Dome while it is being removed and replaced. Launching to maintain minimum in-orbit spares.Return: • Urine Processor Assembly Pressure Control and Pump Assembly – This multi-tube purge pump enables the removal of non-condensable gas and water vapor from the distillation assembly within the greater urine processing assembly subsystem. This unit is returning to the ground for repair and refurbishment in support of the legacy environmental control and life support system fleet. • Assembly Contingency Transmitter Receiver Assembly – A part of the S-Band Radio Frequency Group, this assembly is a pressurized enclosure that contains electronics for this upper-level assembly. The Radio Frequency Group is used for command, control, and transmission communication for the space station. It was retrieved by NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore during US EVA 92 and will return for repair. • High Gain Antenna Feed Assembly – Part of the S-Band Radio Frequency Group, this system features a two-axis, gimballed assembly with a pedestal and a large horn antenna. It was retrieved by NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore during U.S. spacewalk 92 and will return for repair. • Low Gain Antenna Sub-Assembly – Part of the S-Band Radio Frequency Group, this sub-assembly consists of a helix antenna that provides a wide field of signal transmission capability. It was retrieved by NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore during U.S. spacewalk 92 and will return for repair. • Planar Reflector Assembly – With an aluminum base and reflective element, visiting spacecraft reflect a laser to compute relative range, velocity, and attitude to the space station. This broken unit was retrieved and replaced by NASA astronaut Suni Williams during U.S. spacewalk 91 and will return for repair. • Multifiltration Bed – Supporting the water processor assembly, this spare unit will continue the International Space Station program’s effort to replace a degraded fleet of units in-orbit that improve water quality through a single bed. This unit will return for refurbishment and re-flight.

1:04:24 THERE ISES A PARTICULAR SPACEX CARGO FLIGHT CRS33 THAT HAS THE1:04:33 ABILITY TO DO SOME REBOOST. FOR THE SPACE STATION AND THAT1:04:38 NEEDS TO FLY IN THAN LATE AUGUST EARLY SEPTEMBER TIMEFRAME TO SO1:04:46 WE MOVED THE HANDOVER UP. THE BOOST TRUNK THAT WE CALL IT WILL BE THERE FOR A LARGE PART OF THE FALL TIMEFRAME.1:04:53 SO TO GET ALL OF THE PROPELLENT USED ON THAT MISSION, SO THAT IS WHY WE LOOKED AT MOVING IT UP.1:04:59 RIGHT NOW, WE THINK, UM, WE WILL FLY PROBABLY THE CAPSULE 2061:05:05 WHICH IS THE FLEET LEADER THAT WILL BE ON THE SIXTH FLIGHT AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK THAT WITH SAYS X. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER SPACE
Based on this conversation heard on 10 Apr... "Anne just asked which EMUs are planned for use for the 01 May EVA, Luca Parmitano responded "we'll let you know when we have an answer.""

William Harwood @rocketksc.bsky.socialF9/CRS-32: The European Space Agency's ACES payload -- the Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space -- also will be mounted outside Columbus; ACES will study the relationship between gravity and the passage of time in unprecedented detail
William Harwood @rocketksc.bsky.socialF9/CRS-32: One research package not mentioned in NASA's background is STP-H10, a suite of 7 unclassified instruments sponsored by Space Force's Space Test Program that will be mounted outside the Columbus module; details here: aegisaero.com/stp-h10/
Jonathan McDowell @planet4589The Dragon CRS-32 cargo ship is due for launch at 0815 UTC. The trunk carries ESA's ACES and Space Force's STP-H10 payloads. For some reason @NASA and SpaceX have omitted all mention of STP-H10 from their prelaunch info.
STARS-Me2...◆2025/03/12: After cargo adjustments for the ISS supply ship, launch is scheduled for the summer of 2025.
