DRAGON CRS-11 is a cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station. The mission was contracted by NASA and is being flown by SpaceX. The mission utilized a Falcon 9 launch rocket and reuses a Dragon v1 cargo vessel that was previously flown on the CRS-4 mission. CRS-11 is the penultimate of the first twelve missions awarded to SpaceX under the CRS contract to resupply the International Space Station. The CRS-11 Dragon carried 1,069 kg (2,357 lb) of science investigations, 242 kg (534 lb) of crew supplies, 199 kg (439 lb) of vehicle hardware, 56 kg (123 lb) of spacewalk equipment, 27 kg (60 lb) of computer resources, a 325 kg (717 lb) Roll-Out Solar Array, a 372 kg (820 lb) Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer experiment, and a 305 kg (672 lb) Multiple User System for Earth Sensing system.
After the retirement of the space shuttle, the Dragon spacecraft is the only vehicle capable of returning large amounts of cargo from the space station to Earth. Russia′s crewed Soyuz capsule can only accommodate limited cargo when landing with a three-person crew.

The Dragon CRS-11 cargo ship was launched on Jun 3, 2017 and arrived at the ISS on Jun 5. It was grappled by the Canadarm-2 at 13:52 UTC and berthed on the Harmony module at about 16:10 UTC.
The Dragon CRS-11 cargo ship was unberthed from the ISS at about 18:00 UTC Jul 2, 2017 and released at 06:41 UTC Jul 3. It splashed down in the Pacific at about 12:14 UTC Jul 3, returning about 1700 kg of cargo to Earth.
