SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft successfully demonstrated its ability to reboost the International Space Station (ISS) by adjusting its orbit with a 12-minute, 30-second burn of its Draco thrusters. This capability, previously provided by Roscosmos and Northrop Grumman vehicles, is crucial for maintaining the ISS's orbit. The demonstration also supports SpaceX's future role in deorbiting the ISS when it is retired, expected around 2030. The Dragon freighter, part of the 31st commercial resupply mission, also delivered over 6,000 pounds of cargo to the ISS.

The data from this operation will aid in designing a deorbit vehicle for the ISS's planned retirement after 2030. This development reduces NASA's reliance on Russian spacecraft and supports future commercial space station operations.
