The resupply mission aims to support dozens of research experiments conducted in space. Some of the supplies include tools for examining solar wind and to observe the combined effects of cosmic radiation and microgravity on plants. Additionally, the Dragon’s crew brought a device in order to test cold welding of metals in microgravity. These studies support future human exploration through NASA's Artemis campaign, which will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future expeditions to Mars. Dragon is scheduled to remain at the space station until December when it will return to Earth with newfound research and cargo, splashing off the coast of Florida.
