SpaceX CRS-33, also known as SpX-33, is a planned ISS resupply mission operated by American aerospace corporation SpaceX. [1] Under the Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) contract, SpaceX delivers cargo to the ISS using the Dragon spacecraft. [2]
It is not yet known which Dragon spacecraft will perform the mission or what cargo it will bring.
The mission will fly with a "boost trunk" with extra propellant to perform re-boosts of the ISS over a period of several months. [3]
There is a particular SpaceX cargo flight, CRS-33, that has the ability to do some re-boosts for the space station and that needs to fly in than late August/early September timeframe, so we moved the handover up. The boost trunk, as we call it, will be there for a large part of the fall timeframe.
