Florida [U.S]July 15 (ANI): After several delays, SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft finally took off to begin its journey to the International Space Station.
The uncrewed flight, known as CRS-25, will carry with it a number of scientific experiments, including research into the aging and recovery of the immune system, mapping the composition of Earth’s dust and its effects on climate, how communities of microorganisms in the soil are affected. studies are included. by Microgravity and many others.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration shared a video of the CR-25 launch on Twitter. “Like Dust in the Air, Liftoff Confirmed for the SpaceX CRS-25 Dragon Spacecraft Re-supply Mission to the International Space Station”

The 25th SpaceX Cargo Resupply Services mission (SpaceX CRS-25) which was postponed to June 2022 due to a leak in a hydrazine leak on the spacecraft lifted off a Falcon 9 rocket at 8:44 a.m. EDT from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. was given. 14 July.
Announcing the docking timing, NASA wrote in its tweet, “Done and dusted off. Stage 2 separation confirmed. CRS-25 Dragon spacecraft, and new @NASAEarth Mineral Dust Mapper EMIT, en route to the International @Space_Station Docking is expected on Saturday, July 16 at 11:20 a.m. ET (15:20 UTC).

NASA explained that the Dragon capsule’s experiments include mapping the composition of Earth’s dust and testing concrete substitutes, as well as studying the immune system, Earth’s oceans, soil communities and cell-free biomarkers.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration tweeted, “In the dust, we trust, after launch this evening, our cargo resupply mission @NASAEarth on its way to the International @Space_Station is carrying out the experiment @NASAEarth that will help us find dust on our climate.” It will help to understand the impact.” ,
NASA had live coverage of the Dragon cargo supply mission on television and on its social media handles. (ANI)
