Grasped by the robotic arm, the Dragon spacecraft is at its planned release point below the space station.

Astronauts Jack Fischer and Peggy Whitson will command the arm to release the capsule at 2:41 a.m. EDT (0641 GMT). The duo will stand by at a communications panel to issue commands to Dragon if necessary.

The crew will monitor the spacecraft until it exits the so-called keep-out sphere 200 meters (660 feet) around the space station.

07/03/2017 09:45  Dragon release

Dragon is now flying on its own, having been released from the grasp of the space station robotic arm at 2:41 a.m. EDT (0641 GMT) as the craft flew 258 miles above Australia.

07/03/2017 09:45
The robotic arm has backed away to a distance of more than 10 feet. The first of three rocket burns to guide Dragon away from the space station is complete.

07/03/2017 09:45
The Dragon spacecraft has finished its second departure burn. A yaw maneuver is coming up at about 2:51 a.m. EDT (0651 GMT), then a final departure maneuver is planned about a minute later.

07/03/2017 09:52
Dragon's third and final departure burn is complete, moving the craft beyond the 200-meter keep-out sphere, an imaginary bubble around the space station.

Astronaut Jack Fischer radioed his congratulations to the Dragon shortly after its departure.

"Dragon's been an incredible spacecraft," Fischer said. "I could even say it was slathered in awesome sauce. This baby has had almost no problems, which is an incredible feat considering it's the first reuse of a Dragon vehicle.

"And the science we've done -- oh my, the science. Most of the 6,000 pounds of cargo carried was science, and almost all the return cargo are precious samples for discoveries we can't wait to see," he said. "In addition, Dragon brought up a host of external experiments. We've added an external platform for science, a neutron star analyzer and a new solar array that rolled out like a party horn on New Year's Eve.

"The science on this mission has been non-stop, and we think the scientists will be extremely happy with the volumes of data we gathered for them up here in space in our floating world-class laboratory we call home," Fischer said.

"For the whole SpaceX team, thank you for building such a great vehicle and for finding us some good weather today to allow us to bring home the science on time.

"Godspeed and fair winds, Dragon-11."

Dragon Cargo Craft Flies Away Fr om Station
Posted on July 3, 2017 at 3:10 am by Mark Garcia.

Expedition 52 astronauts Jack Fischer and Peggy Whitson of NASA released the SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft from the International Space Station's robotic arm at 2:41 a.m. EDT.

Dragon's thrusters will be fired to move the spacecraft a safe distance from the station before SpaceX flight controllers in Hawthorne, California, command its deorbit burn. The capsule will splash down at about 8:12 a.m. in the Pacific Ocean, wh ere recovery forces will retrieve the capsule and its more than 4,100 pounds of cargo. This cargo will include science from human and animal research, biotechnology studies, physical science investigations and education activities.

Splashdown will not be broadcast on NASA TV.

NASA and the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), the non-profit organization that manages research aboard the U.S. national laboratory portion of the space station, will receive time-sensitive samples and begin working with researchers to process and distribute them within 48 hours of splashdown.

Dragon, the only space station resupply spacecraft able to return to Earth intact, launched June 3 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from historic Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and arrived at the station June 5 for the company's eleventh NASA-contracted commercial resupply mission carrying almost 6,000 pounds of cargo and research supplies.

Cardiac Stem Cells:

Спойлер

The crew removed a Cardiac Stem Cells sample fr om a General Laboratory Active Cryogenic ISS Experiment Refrigerator (GLACIER) and placed it in a Space Automated Bioproduct Lab (SABL) incubator.  They also changed out the media in one of the BioCell Habitats in the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG).  Cardiac Stem Cells investigates how microgravity affects stem cells and the factors that govern their activity, in order to clarify the role of stem cells in cardiac biology and tissue regeneration. This investigation also supports research into the possible acceleration of the aging process in microgravity.

NanoRacks Module-54 and Module-56:

Спойлер

A crewmember removed NanoRacks Module-54 and Module-56 from NanoRacks Platform-1 in the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) and placed them into a Minus Eighty Degree Celsius Laboratory Freezer for ISS (MELFI) for return on SpX-11. 

Algae can produce both fats and hydrogen which can each be used as fuel sources on Earth and potentially in space.  NanoRacks Module-54, also known as NanoRacks-National Design Challenge-Chatfield High School-The Effect of Microgravity on Two Strains of Biofuel Producing Algae with Implications for the Production of Renewable Fuels in Space Based Applications (NanoRacks-NDC-CHS-The Green Machine), studies two algae species to determine whether they still produce hydrogen and store fats while growing in microgravity.  Results from this student-designed investigation improve efforts to produce a sustainable biofuel in space, as well as remove carbon dioxide from crew quarters.

Vermicomposting, or using worms to break down food scraps, is an effective way to reduce waste and obtain a nutrient-rich fertilizer for plants.  NanoRacks Module-56, also known as NanoRacks-NDC-Bell Middle School-Efficiency of Vermicomposting in a Closed System (NanoRacks-NDC-BMS-Vermicomposting), is a student-designed project that studies whether red wiggler worms, a species of earthworm, are able to produce compost in space.  Results are used to study the potential for composting as a form of recycling on future long-duration space missions.

NanoRacks Module 9:

Спойлер

The crew deactivated mixture tubes for NanoRacks Module 9 Ops Session 5 today in support of the NanoRacks-National Center for Earth and Space Science-Casper (NanoRacks-NCESSE-Casper) investigation. NCESSE supports various schools and student-designed experiments that address challenges of living and working in space. The program is also a key initiative for U.S. science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), that strives to educate and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers to work on the space program. The specific investigations supported today include Growth and Development of Fathead Minnows in Microgravity, Does the Structure of a Fairy Shrimp Change in Microgravity?, Soybean Germination in Microgravity, and Benefits of Mint.

JAXA Tissue Equivalent Proportional Chamber (TEPC) and Area Passive Dosimeter for Life-Science Experiments in Space (PADLES):

Спойлер

The crew removed area dosimeters from the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) walls and Bio Dosimeters from the JEM TEPC Detector Units for return on SpX-11. The JAXA Area PADLES investigation uses area dosimeters to continuously monitor the radiation dose onboard the ISS.  Radiation exposure can have significant biological effects on living organisms, including the biological investigations being done on ISS in the JEM.

Light Microscopy Module (LMM) Biophysics 1:

Спойлер

The crew removed the Biophysics-3 Plate 2 from the Fluids Integrated Rack (FIR) and placed it into a Minus Eighty Degree Celsius Laboratory Freezer for ISS (MELFI).  Investigators will use the results from LMM Biophysics 1 to examine the movement of single protein molecules in microgravity. This investigation is expected to add to scientists' understanding of the physical processes that enable high-quality crystals to grow in space wh ere Earth's gravity does not interfere with their formation.
