Discussion thread for SpaceX's 34th Commercial Resupply mission (SpX CRS-34).

Launch May 2026 at TBD UTC from KSC LC-39A or CCSFS SLC-40.  Cargo Dragon C2XX-X launched by Falcon 9 first stage B1XXX-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.

This 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.

The 12 additional missions ordered – six each to Northrop Grumman and SpaceX – will provide resupply services to the station through 2026.
