SpaceX CRS-19, also known as SpX-19, is a Commercial Resupply Service mission to the International Space Station currently manifested to be launched on May 2019.[1][2] The mission was contracted by NASA and is flown by SpaceX.
Launch schedule history
On February 2016, it was announced that NASA had awarded a contract extension to SpaceX for five CRS additional missions (CRS-16 to CRS-20).[3] As of June 2016, a NASA Inspector General report had this mission manifested for December 2018.[2]
Primary payload
NASA has contracted for the CRS-19 mission from SpaceX and therefore determines the primary payload, date/time of launch, and orbital parameters for the Dragon space capsule.
