DRAGON CRS-15 is a Commercial Resupply Service mission to the International Space Station launched June 29, 2018 aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. The mission was contracted by NASA and flown by SpaceX. The CRS-15 mission is packed with more than 5,900 pounds of research, crew supplies and hardware. In addition to bringing research to station, the Dragon’s unpressurized trunk is carrying a new Canadian-built Latching End Effector, or LEE. This new LEE is being launched as a spare to replace the failed unit astronauts removed during a series of spacewalks in the fall of 2017. In collaboration with the National Park Service, a toy dog representing the Newfoundland that accompanied Lewis and Clark on their historic expedition in the 1800s also is headed to the space station to help the two agencies celebrate NASA’s 60th anniversary and the National Trail System’s 50th anniversary.
