Thanks Brian :cheers:
 
My pleasure! Thanks for the payloads:thumbup:
 
Little nitpick. Only the MSC6 rack was launched attached to the FF, but not a big deal. Just a FYI. :thumbup:

Hello "Brianj"

The freighter DRAGON CRS-14 delivered in its outer cargo space the experiments:

MISSE-FF (Materials on ISS Experiment - Flight Facility) which has been installed on ELC-2 site-3.

And a PFCS

Pump Flow Control Subassembly is not a scientific instrument, but a critical spare part for the Space Station thermal control system.




After its replacement the out of service PFCS has been installed in the DRAGON's outer cargo bay, it will be disintegrated with the cargo hold during the atmospheric reentry.

May 5, 2018 at 1323 TU DRAGON CRS-14 leaves the ISS for a return and recovery in the Pacific Ocean.
