At 4:55 pm on March 21st, Eastern Time, the “Dragon” spacecraft launched from No. 40 space launching ground at Kanavir Horn Station in Florida.) The 30 -time contract business supply task is performed.After a month of stay at the space station for about a month, the dragon spacecraft will bring cargo and research results to the earth.

The scientific experiments that the dragon “spacecraft is transporting to the space station includes:

The complete assembly Nanoracks-Killick-1 cube satellite, its global navigation satellite system reflection measurement (GNSS-R) antenna has begun.Nanoracks-Killick-1 uses GNSS-R to measure sea ice.The potential applications of the global navigation satellite system reflection measurement method include providing data for weather and climate models, and deepening their understanding of marine phenomena such as surface winds and storm trends.Source: C-Core and Memorial University.

Monitor the thickness and wave height of the sea ice

(Nanoracks-Killick-1) is a cube satellite that uses the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) reflection measurement method or reflex signal measurement of sea ice parameters.The monitoring system helps better understand the important ocean phenomenon and improve weather and climate models.

Used for the new sensor of Astrobee

Multi -resolution scanner (MRS) effective load for ASTROBee (multi -resolution scanning) tests a new set of sensors to support automatic three -dimensional sensing, drawing and situation perception function.These systems can support future gateway and moon surface tasks by providing automatic defect detection, automatic and remote maintenance, and independent aircraft operations.

A graduate student is assembling microscope and fluid bread plate for nanopartal halo -suspended loads.This valid load tests the controlling assembly of nanoparticles in the oxide and titanium dioxide coating coating.Effective demonstrations can be applied to enhanced solar cell generation technology, that is, quantum dot solar synthesis technology.Source: Louisville University

Improve the efficiency of quantum dot solar cells

The nanoparticles are carried out and assembled in the liquid solution of nanoparticles.A process called nano particles dizziness uses charged nanoparticles to achieve accurate particle arrangement, thereby improving the efficiency of quantum dot synthetic solar cells.Under micro -gravity conditions, these processes can deeply understand the relationship between the shape, charge, concentration and interaction of the particles.

Observe photosynthesis in space

Advanced plant experiment -09 (APEX-09), also known as “space C4 photosynthesis”, observes the carbon dioxide capture and mechanism of the two grass.Researchers hope to know moreThe overall change of photosynthesis and plant metabolism in space.The knowledge obtained can support the development of the biological regeneration life support system in future tasks.

These are only a small part of the hundreds of surveys on the rail laboratory. The fields of investigation include biology and biotechnology, physical sciences, and earth and space science.The progress of these fields will help maintain the health of astronauts in long -term space travel, and provide demonstrations for future humans and robots to explore low -earth orbit. Through the Artmis mission of the National Aerospace Bureau, to the moonAnd finally heading to Mars.
