SpaceX Cargo Dragon Docks With ISS, Delivering 2,860 kg of Supplies
AI take
This is a routine resupply run rather than a milestone, so its significance lies in cadence: Dragon's ability to launch, dock autonomously and later return cargo intact keeps the ISS research pipeline cycling, which matters for the commercial and government programs that depend on that rhythm. The return leg in mid-November is the part worth watching, since downmass capacity is where Dragon differs from expendable freighters.
