How’s this for a delivery vehicle?<\/p>\n

Incredible pictures show the historic SpaceX<\/a> Dragon cargo craft as it drifted away from the International Space Station<\/a> on Thursday, Feb. 26.<\/p>\n

NASA astronaut Jessica Meir documented the spacecraft as it undocked and headed back to Earth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The departing capsule became the first Dragon mission to reboost the ISS\u2019s orbit, marking a major new capability for commercial spacecraft and reducing reliance on Russia.<\/p>\n

Dragon 33 had arrived at the space station on Aug. 25, loaded with thousands of pounds of science experiments, equipment, and crew supplies, including 1,500 tortillas, the crumb-free bread substitute for crews dining in weightlessness.<\/p>\n

Jessica Meir said: “A view of a (cargo) Dragon from a (crew) Dragon. The SpaceX cargo Dragon 33 vehicle departed from the Space Station today.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve been busy packing it full of experiment samples, hardware, and items that need to be returned to Earth.<\/p>\n

“Goodbye Dragon! Thanks for your hefty delivery to the ISS, you served us well!”<\/p>\n

The departing capsule, Dragon 33, carried research samples and equipment back for analysis. It is scheduled to splashdown off the California coast on Friday morning, UK time.<\/p>\n
