The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft returns to Earth technology

An unmanned SpaceX Cargo Dragon spacecraft has returned off the coast of Florida, returning from the International Space Station (ISS) with a variety of science experiments on board.

The craft returned in the ocean near Cape Canaveral, completing the 25th cargo mission to the International Space Station conducted by SpaceX.

Cargo Dragon has been on the International Space Station for about a month, carrying more than 4,000 pounds of scientific research and supplies for the International Space Station crew. Various conducted on the space station.

Among the items that were returned to Earth were parts of the space suit or the extravehicular mobility module, after an accident in March this year in which a leak caused water to pool inside the helmet of European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer as he walked in space.

NASA confirmed to the public that Maurer was not in danger from the water, but the accident actually suspended the spacewalk until the problem could be investigated.

Parts of the spacesuit that Maurer wore on the Dragon spacecraft have been returned “for further analysis and to address any potential repairs that may be required,” according to NASA. Space is planned for the United States in the near future.”

Other elements of the Dragon include results from an investigation into how various materials and components can withstand the orbital environment, including parts for future spacecraft and wearable radiation protection, as well as a spacesuit cooling system and an experiment using “bio-inks to create bandages made from a patient’s cells if they were injured on the station.” .
