Discussion thread for SpaceX's 34th Commercial Resupply mission (SpX CRS-34).Launch TBD 2025 at TBD UTC from KSC LC-39A or CCSFS SLC-40. Cargo Dragon C2XX-X launched by Falcon 9 first stage 1XXX-X. First stage is targeting recovery at LZ-2 (could be at SLC-40 or LC-39A landing sites if they are completed before launch).The last set of iROSA (2A/3B) should be the external payload for this mission.Quote from: AndrewM on 11/18/2024 06:33 pmThis mission was awarded as part of a 6 mission contract extension to the CRS2 contract in March 2022 covering missions through CRS-35 in 2026.QuoteThe 12 additional missions ordered – six each to Northrop Grumman and SpaceX – will provide resupply services to the station through 2026.https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/nasa-orders-additional-cargo-flights-to-space-station/

SAM.gov: Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) 2 Contract NNJ16GU21B [updated Nov 21]QuoteThis justification documents the basis for issuing an order under the Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) 2 Contract NNJ16GU21B using an exception to the Fair Opportunity process.Contract Award Date: Sep 23, 2025Quote from: JEFO+RedactedThis action is a firm-fixed price order for two Northrop Grumman (NG) Resupply Service Standard Mission Bs on a Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 1 Task Order. CRS-2 CLIN 0001 describes the standard resupply service missions available under each offeror’s contract.[...]The total estimated price of the proposed orders is ██████; this amount consists of ██████ for a NG Standard Mission B in calendar year 2028 and ██████ for a Standard Mission B in calendar year 2029. This estimate does not reflect a multi-mission purchase discount which is anticipated to reduce the mission prices. The estimated period of performance for each mission is nominally a █████████ template from the Authority to Proceed milestone to Mission Launch, plus the subsequent berthed mission duration up to ███ days post launch.Northrop Grumman planning Cygnus upgradesQuoteAn upgraded version in development will increase that to 5,000 kilograms, said Lucas Migliorini, cargo logistics development engineering manager at Northrop Grumman, in another conference presentation.The “Mission B” version of Cygnus stretches the payload module of the spacecraft by 1.5 meters to accommodate the additional cargo.
