SpaceX CRS-21 eller SpX-21 var en obemannad flygning till Internationella rymdstationen med SpaceX:s rymdfarkost Dragon 2. Farkosten sköts upp en Falcon 9-raket, från Kennedy Space Center LC-39, den 6 december 2020. Den dockade med rymdstationen den 7 december 2020.[3]

Farkosten levererade bland annat luftslussen Bishop Airlock till rymdstationen.[4]

Farkosten lämnade rymdstationen den 12 januari 2021, drygt ett dygn senare återinträdde den i jordens atmosfär och landade i Mexikanska golfen.[2]

This artist's concept shows a SpaceX Crew Dragon docking with the International Space Station as it will during a mission for NASA's Commercial Crew Program. NASA is partnering with Boeing and SpaceX to build a new generation of human-rated spacecraft capable of taking astronauts to the station and expanding research opportunities in orbit.

Gidzenko and flight engineer Sergei K. Krikalev two tons of food, clothing, hardware and holiday gifts from their families. The photograph was taken with a 35mm camera and the film was later handed over to the STS-97 crew members

for return to Earth and subsequent processing.

ISS021-E-017623 (30 Oct. 2009) --- Backdropped by a cloud-covered part of Earth, the unpiloted Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), filled with trash and unneeded items, departs from the International Space Station. European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne, Expedition 21 commander; NASA astronaut Nicole Stott and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk, both flight engineers, used the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to grab the HTV cargo craft and unberth it from the Harmony node's nadir port. The HTV was successfully unberthed at 10:18 a.m. (CDT) on Oct. 30, 2009, and released from the station's Canadarm2 at 12:32 p.m.

  • The patch shape is that of a Maltese Cross, which is a universal symbol for fire fighters worldwide with traditions rooted in bravery, honor, and courage. The primary black and red colors of the patch, traditional colors of the fire service, represent energy and strength with red and power and elegance in black.
  • From the Dragon trunk, the ISS Roll-Out Solar Array (iROSA) payload is prominent ready to receive energy from the sun cresting over the Earth's horizon. The ISS is flying above the earth with the 2B and 4B solar arrays highlighted as those are the ones being augmented with the iROSA on this flight.
  • The Maltese Cross is not payload specific in this case, rather a recognition of the values highlighted in the patch's description.
