NASA and SpaceX successfully reboost the International Space Station using Dragon's Draco thrusters after an initial abort, ensuring continued station operations and upcoming crew swaps, while highlighting the station's aging infrastructure and planned deorbit in 2030.
SpaceX's latest Dragon cargo mission includes a reboost kit to help maintain the International Space Station's orbit, with plans for periodic burns throughout fall 2025. This mission marks SpaceX's 50th Dragon flight to the ISS, contributing significantly to scientific research and future space station operations. The reboost kit, a smaller version of a larger deorbit vehicle under development, will enhance station stability and support upcoming missions.
A SpaceX Cargo Dragon spacecraft launched on August 24 will deliver supplies to the ISS and assist in reboosting the station's orbit, demonstrating its dual role in resupply and station maintenance.
