Description:

• DRAGON CRS-20 (SpaceX-20) is a Commercial Resupply Service mission to the International Space Station launched on 7 March 2020. The mission was contracted by NASA and was flown by SpaceX using Dragon. This was SpaceX′s last flight for Dragon CRS and concludes the NASA CRS-1 contract extension. The DRAGON CRS-20 mission carried 1977 kg of cargo to ISS.
• Filled with more than 4,000 pounds (1,814 kg) of valuable scientific experiments and other cargo, SpaceX Dragon SpX-20 or CRS-20 resupply spacecraft left the International Space Station on, April 07, 2020. Robotic flight controllers at mission control in Houston sent at 13:06 UTC commands to release Dragon using the station′s Canadarm2 robotic arm. Expedition 62 Flight Engineer Andrew Morgan monitored Dragon′s systems as it departed the orbital laboratory.
  Dragon fired its thrusters to move a safe distance from the station, then executed a deorbit burn as it heads for a parachute-assisted splashdown around 18:50 UTC in the Pacific Ocean, southwest of Long Beach, California.

Mission details:

• On Mar 7, 2020 Dragon CRS-20 was launched carrying cargo for ISS including the commercial Bartomoleo experiment platform from Airbus, which will be attached to the Columbus module. The Falcon 9 first stage made a successful return to Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral. Dragon arrived at ISS on Mar 9, with Canadarm-2 grapple at 1025 UTC and berthing at 1218 UTC.
• Dragon CRS-20 was unberthed from the Harmony module at about 1030 UTC Apr 7 2020, and released into orbit at 1306 UTC. After a deorbit burn the cabin splashed down at about 117.5W 26.5N in the Pacific at 1850 UTC.
