SpaceX CRS-28, also known as SpX-28, is a Commercial Resupply Service mission to the International Space Station (ISS) launched on 5 June 2023.[1] The mission was contracted by NASA and flown by SpaceX using Cargo Dragon ship C208. It was the eighth flight for SpaceX under NASA's CRS Phase 2.[3]

NASA contracted for the CRS-28 mission from SpaceX and therefore determines the primary payload, date of launch, and orbital parameters for the Cargo Dragon.[4][5]

ISS Roll Out Solar Arrays (iROSA)[edit]

Third pair of new solar arrays using XTJ Prime space solar cells. They were delivered to the station in the unpressurized trunk of the SpaceX Cargo Dragon spacecraft.[6]

The installation of these new solar arrays will require two spacewalks each: one to prepare the worksite with a modification kit and another to install the new panel.[7][8]

CubeSats launched on this mission:

The CRS-28 resupply mission was originally planned to launch on 4 June 2023, at 16:12:41 UTC. However, the countdown was stopped at T-01:49:08, and SpaceX scrubbed the mission and postponed it to the day after due to high winds in the recovery area. SpaceX announced, about 45 minutes afterward, the new T-0, planned for 15:47 UTC. The Falcon 9 rocket and the Cargo Dragon spacecraft lifted off at the new T-0, from the Kennedy Space Center's Space Launch Complex-39A. The first stage separation happened at T+02:38 and the Falcon 9 landed at T+09:05 on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship. At T+12:11, the Cargo Dragon separated from the second stage.

Dragon docked to the International Space Station's Harmony module on Tuesday, June 6, at 09:54 UTC.[11]

On June 7, SpaceX announced on Twitter that on the previous day, the Dragon 2 fleet as a whole had accumulated 1,324 days in orbit, surpassing the Space Shuttle program's total time in space. SpaceX also said that the mission was the 38th mission to ISS for Dragon 1 and 2 capsules, which exceeded the Shuttle's 37 ISS missions.[12]

Cargo Dragon C208 was undocked from the ISS on 29 June 2023 at 16:30 UTC. The capsule splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean on 30 June 2023 at 14:30 UTC, where it was retrieved by MV Shannon.
