SpaceX CRS-19, also known as SpX-19, was a Commercial Resupply Service mission to the International Space Station.[4] The mission is contracted by NASA and was flown by SpaceX on a Falcon 9 rocket.
Dragon capsule C106 made its third flight on CRS-19 having previously flown on CRS-4 and CRS-11. Dragon successfully returned to Earth on January 7, 2020 after a month-long stay at the ISS.
Launch schedule history
On February 2016, it was announced that NASA had awarded a contract extension to SpaceX for five CRS additional missions (CRS-16 to CRS-20).[5] In June 2016, a NASA Inspector General report had this mission manifested for December 2018.[6] The mission was later delayed to 15 October 2019,[7] but launched in December 2019.[4]
On 5 December 2019, CRS-19 launched successfully, followed by a successful first stage landing on the barge Of Course I Still Love You.[8]
Payload
NASA has contracted the CRS-19 mission from SpaceX and therefore determines the primary payload, date/time of launch, and orbital parameters for the Dragon space capsule. According to a February 2018 press release, the external payload manifested for this flight is the Hyperspectral Imager Suite (HISUI)[9] which is planned for the Japanese Kibo module.
A Lithium-Ion Battery to replace one that failed (shipped on HTV 7) on ISS truss is also on board and is to be connected to the station by the crew during an upcoming spacewalk.
The following is a breakdown of cargo bound for the ISS:[3]
- Science investigations: 977 kg (2,154 lb)
- Vehicle hardware: 306 kg (675 lb)
- Crew supplies: 256 kg (564 lb)
- Spacewalk equipment: 64 kg (141 lb)
- Computer resources: 15 kg (33 lb)
- External payloads: HISUI and replacement lithium battery 924 kg (2,037 lb)
The Dragon spacecraft is carrying 2,617 kilograms (5,769 lb) of equipment to the station, including 977 kg (2,154 lb) of samples and scientific research instruments, including experiments on combustion, an upgrade for the Cold Atom Lab and 40 genetically enhanced mice.[10][3]
