With Lignosat, there is also Onglaisat on board Dragon.QuoteTaipei, Nov. 5 (CNA) "Onglaisat," a satellite co-developed by Taiwan and Japan, was successfully launched into space Tuesday (Taipei time) aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from the United States, according to the Taiwan Space Agency (TASA).The small cube satellite, or CubeSat, is scheduled to reach the International Space Station (ISS) and be deployed into a 410-kilometer low Earth orbit in approximately one month to begin its test mission, according to TASA in a statement.During the six-month mission, Onglaisat will be utilized to validate the key technologies of the newly developed remote sensing system, said TASA, which is part of Taiwan's National Science and Technology Council.TASA said that Onglaisat, launched into space from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard SpaceX's CRS-31 resupply mission, will also test high-resolution data collection and image compression technologies it developed in collaboration with the Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute.Source : https://focustaiwan.tw/sci-tech/202411050021

The satellite "YODAKA," which was developed by students from Hanamaki Kita High School in Iwate Prefecture, was launched on the Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) unmanned supply vehicle "Cargo Dragon" and a "Falcon 9" rocket. Space BD announced this on November 5th.YODAKA was planned as part of the "UP Hanamaki" project, which is being carried out by SPACE VALUE and Space BD, both based in Hanamaki City, and is something that students from Hanamaki Kita High School can be involved in. ArcEdge Space is responsible for the development, manufacturing, and operation of the satellite.
2024.11.05Advanced Engineer Development Program: Successful launch of student-made microsatellite "YOMOGI"!As part of the Advanced Engineer Development Program, which aims to develop human resources who can manufacture things that work reliably in space to support the expanding space industry, the Falcon 9 rocket CRS2-31 of SpaceX, USA, carrying "YOMOGI," a 1U CubeSat (a microsatellite with a cube size of 10 cm on each side and weighing about 1 kg) developed by our students, was successfully launched at 11:29 a.m. (Japan time) on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.Public viewing of the rocket launch held!On November 5, 2024, a public viewing of the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket CRS2-31 was held in the lobby on the first floor of Building 2 on the Tsudanuma Campus. On the day, about 70 students and faculty watched "YOMOGI" depart for space.
Dragon Spacecraft Boosts Station for First TimeNASA and SpaceX monitored operations as the company’s Dragon spacecraft performed its first demonstration of reboost capabilities for the International Space Station at 12:50 p.m. EST on Friday. The spacecraft’s Draco thrusters adjusted the station’s orbit through a reboost of altitude by 7/100 of a mile at apogee and 7/10 of a mile at perigee, lasting approximately 12 minutes and 30 seconds.By testing the spacecraft’s ability to provide reboost and, eventually, attitude control, NASA’s International Space Station Program will have multiple spacecraft available to provide these capabilities for the orbital complex.Currently, the Roscosmos Progress spacecraft and the Northrop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft also provide reboost for the space station.The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft recently delivered more than 6,000 pounds of supplies to the orbiting laboratory. The resupply mission lifted off Nov. 4 on the company’s Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida and arrived at the space station on Nov. 5. This launch was the 31st SpaceX commercial resupply services mission for the agency.For more than two decades, the International Space Station has served as a critical testbed for NASA to understand and overcome the challenges of long-duration spaceflight and to expand commercial opportunities in low Earth orbit. The space station is a springboard for developing a low Earth economy and NASA’s next great leaps in exploration, including missions to the Moon under Artemis and, ultimately, human exploration of Mars.Learn more about station activities by following the space station blog, @space_station and @ISS_Research on X, as well as the ISS Facebook and ISS Instagram accounts.Get weekly updates from NASA Johnson Space Center at: https://roundupreads.jsc.nasa.gov/Get the latest from NASA delivered every week.

“7/100 of a mile at apogee and 7/10 of a mile at perigee“ is pretty bizarre terminology.Is this just PAO-speak for 100 m and 1 km?And does anyone know how this reboost was performed?(We can all make educated guesses, so I’m not asking for that.)Did SpaceX use the forward facing thrusters visible in the docked images?That would seem to spray exhaust byproducts all over the docking and Node hardware.Did they rotate the ISS so the Dragon could “push” it “forward” in the direction its velocity?

This Dragon has a trunk with thrusters. Probably part of the path towards the design that will deorbit ISS in the future...
On further inspection, I think that Dragon photo is from CRS-31's rendezvous and docking, not today's reboost. (I can't find it on any NASA social media, and the reboost occurred during orbital day.)
it looks like another is scheduled in 2 hours.LIVE: ISS 180-degree spin maneuver filmed from our 4K cameras on the Space Station (livestream test)
Don Pettit took a better photo of the reboost docking.EDIT: Definitely not reboost as teleconference stated that only one Draco would be used.
NASA Flight Engineer Don Pettit started his day loading items inside the SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft for return to Earth following its undocking on Thursday, Dec. 5.
