SpaceX's 31st Mission Delivers Science and Holiday Cheer to ISS

NASA's SpaceX 31st commercial resupply mission successfully launched, delivering over 6,000 pounds of supplies and scientific experiments to the International Space Station. The Dragon spacecraft, launched from Kennedy Space Center, will dock with the ISS to support research during Expedition 72, including studies on solar wind, cosmic radiation effects on plants, and cold welding in microgravity. The mission supports NASA's Artemis campaign, preparing for future Moon and Mars expeditions. The Dragon will return to Earth in December with research and cargo.
