SpaceX CRS-33 Resupply Mission: Cargo Dragon Arrives | International Space Station
Expedition 73 flight engineer and NASA astronaut Jonny Kim: "Last week, SpaceX Cargo Dragon CRS-33 docked to the International Space Station, carrying precious supplies, equipment, and science. Mike Fincke and I monitored the approach and snagged these photos. First photo is a long exposure of Dragon’s approach. Nikon Z9 | 15/24/50/500mm."
At 7:05 a.m. EDT, Monday, August 25, 2025, the SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft docked to the forward port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module.
The spacecraft carried over 5,000 pounds of scientific investigations and cargo to the orbiting laboratory on SpaceX’s 33rd commercial resupply services mission for NASA. The mission launched at 2:45 a.m. on Aug. 24 atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral in Florida.
Research conducted aboard the International Space Station advances future space exploration—including Artemis missions to the Moon and astronaut missions Mars—that are intended to "provide benefits to humanity."
