Dragon is the only cargo ship that can carry science experiments back to researchers on Earth, as all other spacecraft burn up in the atmosphere on re-entry. Dragons are often used to transport biological samples that must be transported to scientific facilities quickly; Spraying in the Atlantic Ocean will enable rapid sample transportation to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on the Florida coast, east of Orlando.
The 66-member expedition has been packing and stocking up dragons for at least the past two weeks, according to NASA space blog, including swapping out scientific freezer components that will house valuable refrigerated science samples.
