NASA and SpaceX Prepare for CRS-33 Cargo Launch to the ISS

NASA and SpaceX are launching CRS-33, a cargo resupply mission to the ISS featuring a Dragon spacecraft with a new propulsion system in its trunk to boost the station's orbit, helping to sustain its altitude and reduce workload on other vehicles. The mission includes over 5,000 pounds of supplies and scientific experiments, and marks the first long-duration mission with this new boost capability, which will inform future space station operations and deorbit plans.
