SpaceX CRS-33 Cargo Dragon Spacecraft Departure | International Space Station
A SpaceX Dragon spacecraft departed the International Space Station on February 26, 2026, carrying several thousand pounds of science experiments and lab hardware for return and analysis on Earth. Dragon completed a six-month stay attached to the Harmony module's forward port where it docked in August 2025 delivering over 5,500 pounds of new science, supplies, and hardware to resupply the orbital residents.
Dragon parachuted to a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California at 11:44 p.m. PST on Thursday where NASA and SpaceX support personnel awaited the science and cargo-packed spacecraft. This marked the completion of SpaceX’s 33rd Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-33) mission to the International Space Station.
Expedition 74 Flight Engineer and NASA Astronaut: "A view of a (cargo) Dragon from a (crew) Dragon. The SpaceX cargo Dragon 33 vehicle departed from the International Space Station today. We’ve been busy packing it full of experiment samples, hardware, and items that need to be returned to Earth. Goodbye Dragon! Thanks for your hefty delivery to the ISS, you served us well!"
