 NASA SpX-11 mission patch | |
SpaceX CRS-11, also known as SpX-11, is a cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station scheduled to be launched on June 1 2017.[2] The mission was contracted by NASA and will be flown by SpaceX. The mission will utilize a Falcon 9 launch rocket and will reuse a Dragon v1 cargo vessel that was previously flown on the CRS-4 mission.
Launch schedule history
CRS-11 is the penultimate of the first twelve missions awarded to SpaceX under the CRS contract to resupply the International Space Station.[3] As of June 2016[update], a NASA Inspector General report had this mission manifested for February 2017.[4] The launch date has since been revised to June 1 2017.
Rocket and spacecraft
This will be the first time that a Dragon spacecraft will be reused and should help SpaceX to scale back its production line and shift focus to Dragon v2.[1]
Primary payload
NASA has contracted for the CRS-11 mission from SpaceX and therefore determines the primary payload, date/time of launch, and orbital parameters for the Dragon space capsule. According to a NASA Inspector General report of June 2016, CRS-11 is expected to carry 1,737 kg (3,829 lb) of pressurized mass and 1,573 kg (3,468 lb) of unpressurized.[4] According to 2016 presentations, the external payloads manifested for this flight are NICER, MUSES and ROSA.[5][6]
