SpaceX's CRS-26 cargo mission is set to lift off at 4:19 p.m. EST (2119 UTC) Monday, Nov. 21 from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Dragon spacecraft will deliver a variety of NASA investigations, including the next pair of International Space Station Roll Out Solar Arrays (iROSAs), which will augment power to the orbiting laboratory.
The spacecraft also will carry a study to grow dwarf tomatoes to help create a continuous fresh-food production system in space, as well as an experiment that tests an on-demand method to create specific quantities of key nutrients.
