SpaceX CRS-19, also known as SpX-19, is a Commercial Resupply Service mission to the International Space Station currently manifested to be launched on May 2019.[2][3] The mission was contracted by NASA and is flown by SpaceX.

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).[4] As of June 2016, a NASA Inspector General report had this mission manifested for December 2018.[3] As of May 2018 this had been pushed back to October 2019.[1]

Primary payload

NASA has contracted for 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 2018 press release, the external payload manifested for this flight is the NanoRacks Airlock Module.[5]
