Quick #SpaceX CRS-19 update gleaned from today's all-female spacewalk (on for Thursday or Friday a.m.) briefing: The faulty BCDU that Koch and Meir will replace will fly back on the CRS-19 Dragon in December. Unclear whether launch or splashdown would happen in that month.

NASA Highlights Science on 19th SpaceX Resupply Mission to Space Station

NASA will host a media teleconference at 1 p.m. EST Wednesday, Nov. 20, to discuss select science investigations launching on the next SpaceX commercial resupply flight to the International Space Station.

Audio of the teleconference will stream live online at:

https://www.nasa.gov/live

SpaceX is targeting 12:51 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4, for the launch of its Dragon spacecraft on a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

Participants in the briefing will be:

Bryan Dansberry, assistant program scientist for NASA’s International Space Station Program Science Office, who will share an overview of the research being conducted aboard the space station and how it benefits exploration and humanity
Michael Roberts, interim chief scientist for the International Space Station U.S. National Laboratory, who will discuss the lab’s work in advancing science in space, and in developing partnerships that drive industrialization through microgravity research
Se-Jin Lee, professor at the Jackson Laboratory and University of Connecticut School of Medicine, and principal investigator of Rodent Research-19, who will discuss research on molecular signaling pathways that influence muscle degradation to prevent skeletal muscle and bone loss during spaceflight, and enhance recovery following return to Earth
Robert Thompson, project scientist for the Cold Atom Lab at NASA’s Jet Propulsion laboratory in Pasadena, California, who will discuss a new science package that will allow scientists to probe fundamental theories of gravity, and can serve as a pathfinder for future instruments
Paul V. Ferkul, co-investigaor at Universities Space Research Association, Cleveland, Ohio, who will discuss an experiment that examines flame behavior as it spreads in differently-shaped confined spaces in microgravity

Gary Hanning, director of Global Barley Research for Anheuser-Busch, who will discuss an experiment that aims to look at barley seeds in microgravity
Mark Neuman of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, who will discuss a new docking station make it quicker and simpler for astronauts to deploy the Robotic External Leak Locator (RELL)

To participate in the teleconference, media must contact Kathryn Hambleton at 202-358-1100 or [email protected] by 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20, for dial-in information.

SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft also will carry crew supplies and hardware to the orbiting laboratory to support the Expedition 61 crew for the 19th mission under NASA’s Commercial Resupply Services contract.

The space station is a convergence of science, technology and human innovation that demonstrates new technologies and enables research not possible on Earth. The orbiting laboratory has been occupied continuously since November 2000. In that time, more than 230 people, and a variety of international and commercial spacecraft, have visited the orbiting laboratory. The space station remains the springboard to NASA's next great leap in exploration, including future missions to the Moon and eventually to Mars.

Launch hazard area issued by Air Force for 12/4 #SpaceX Falcon 9 with cargo Dragon. Liftoff targeted for 1251 ET (1751 UTC). No mention of a landing attempt.

Does this confirm an expendable launch or does this mean that the recent FCC license for an ASDS landing is meant for CRS-19?

Vettedrmr · « **Reply #30 on:** 11/23/2019 10:29 am »

Aren't we expecting an RTLS?

ZachS09 · « **Reply #31 on:** 11/23/2019 03:26 pm »

If they confirm this to be expendable, why would they do that?

Is it because they want the most performance, or do they want to get rid of the booster for some other reason?

gongora · « **Reply #32 on:** 11/23/2019 03:31 pm »

It's a little early to speculate on reasons for an expendable launch considering no one has said the launch is expendable.

Rondaz · « **Reply #33 on:** 11/23/2019 07:42 pm »

Research will soon be headed to space inside a @SpaceX Dragon capsule! That science includes Earth imaging, fire, barely and bone and muscle loss research.

It's not going to be expendable. We would have hazard zones of where the first stage would be crashing down. There is no reason to think it's expendable, it is a booster flying for the third time with a history of very low energy missions. And it's not going to land on ASDS. The FCC filling shows a droneship that is on the wrong azmiuth for a CRS mission. It much better suits a GPS mission. And there is no reason to avoid LZ-1. There is nothing on LZ-1, there is no damage to LZ-1 and it is cheaper to land at LZ-1.

Apart from the visual confirmation, Space.com article also states that the new booster (1059.1) is going to be used for this mission.

I am getting the impression that having previously flown a mission is becoming a plus rather than a liability. In that case I would understand why SpaceX would prefer to fly with a new booster, to get a flight under its belt, than to add another flight to a previously flown booster.

How can you tell from that picture? There's all kinds of atmospheric distortion.
