SpaceX @SpaceXSplashdown of Dragon confirmed, completing SpaceX’s 33rd Commercial Resupply Services mission to the @Space_Station
Lukas C. H. @GewoonLukas_CRS-33 safely splashed down following a 187-day mission! This was the longest Cargo Dragon mission to date, thanks to the boost-trunk. SpaceX' next launch to the ISS will be Cygnus NG-24, which is set for NET Apr. 1 at ~15:00 UTC. The next Cargo Dragon, CRS-34, is set for May.

CAPCOM informs the crew that HTV demate has commenced and that no exercise is permitted
International Space Station @Space_StationThe Canadarm2 robotic arm has gripped Japan's HTV-X1 cargo spacecraft ahead of Friday's release. The Exp 74 crew worked more spacewalk preps and biology research on Thursday.
March 5, 2026 2:29PMCategoriesExpedition 74International Space Station (ISS)ISS ResearchCanadarm2 Grips Cargo Spacecraft, Spacewalk Prep and Biology ContinueThe new HTV-X1 cargo spacecraft from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) is pictured in the grips of the Canadarm2 robotic arm after completing its arrival at the International Space Station. The spacecraft launched four days earlier from the Tanegashima Space Center in Japan carrying approximately 12,800 pounds of science, supplies, and hardware for the Expedition 73 crew.A JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) cargo spacecraft is in the grasp of the Canadarm2 robotic arm following its detachment from the International Space Station’s Harmony module on Thursday. The Expedition 74 crew continued its spacewalk preparations, transferred more cargo, and conducted biology research throughout the day.The HTV-X1 cargo spacecraft was uninstalled from Harmony with the Canadarm2 at 2:26 p.m. EST Thursday and maneuvered to an overnight parking position. During the crew’s sleep shift, Japanese mission controllers will conduct a laser ranging sensor demonstration test with HTV-X1 still held by the robotic arm.Then at 12 p.m. EST on Friday, robotics controllers will command the Canadarm2 to release HTV-X1 into Earth orbit. The spacecraft will remain at a safe distance from the station for approximately three months while conducting a series of remotely controlled science experiments. NASA will broadcast the release live, beginning at 11:45 a.m. Friday on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency’s YouTube channel.While robotic operations continued outside the space station, the astronauts pressed ahead with spacewalk preparations. NASA flight engineers Jessica Meir, Chris Williams, and Jack Hathaway gathered together and reviewed the tools and equipment required to install a modification kit and route cables for a future roll-out solar array on the port side of the orbital outpost. NASA will soon announce the date and name the two spacewalkers who will exit the station’s Quest airlock into the vacuum of space for the roll-out solar array preparation work.

Mark A. GarciaMarch 6, 2026 12:16PMCanadian Robotic Arm Releases Japan’s Spacecraft for DepartureAt 12 p.m. EST, JAXA’s (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s) HTV-X1 cargo spacecraft was released from the International Space Station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm, which earlier detached it from the Earth-facing port of the orbiting laboratory’s Harmony module. At the time of release, the station was flying about 260 miles over the Pacific Ocean. The HTV-X1 spacecraft successfully departed the station more than four months after arriving to deliver more than 9,000 pounds of supplies, scientific investigations, commercial products, hardware and other cargo for NASA and its international partners.

Has NASA reported any "issues" with IDA-2?Not that I'm aware of; I think this is just standard practice after a visiting vehicle departs.SSRMS has grappled the fixture on Cygnus NG-23.
