Space Station Photos: Expedition 54 Crew in Orbit

SpaceX Dragon Returns with More Cargo

The SpaceX Dragon cargo resupply spacecraft is pictured outside the Harmony module as the International Space Station orbited above Brazil on Jan. 7, 2018. This was the second cargo mission for this particular Dragon; it made another delivery in April 2015.

Goodbye, Dragon!

The SpaceX Dragon is seen through the windows of the Cupola observatory moments before ground controllers remotely commanded the space station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to release the resupply ship from its grips. The Dragon returned to Earth on Jan. 13, 2018 with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
