Medical research items arrive

The spacecraft carried tiny brain models alongside samples of three-dimensional heart tissue. Researchers also received technology intended for manufacturing artificial retinas in orbit. These experiments aim to help develop new treatments for serious medical conditions.

Station power systems upgrade

Dragon brought the final set of roll-out solar arrays to expand station power. Astronauts on Expedition 75 will install these panels at the space-facing port of the Harmony module. The delivery also included more than 6,300 pounds of food and essential supplies.
