Success
JUN 05202315:47:00 UTC

Dragon delivered the third pair of iROSA solar arrays in the unpressurized trunk; spacewalkers installed them in June 2023, completing the six-unit augmentation begun on CRS-22 and lifting ISS generating capacity to roughly 215 kW. The flight also flew the short-nozzle Falcon 9 second stage — a lower-performance, lower-cost variant suited to lighter manifests.
