SpaceX Dragon Is About to Give ISS a Shove

SpaceX Dragon fires thrusters to boost ISS orbit for the 1st time
Dragon isn't the first U.S.-built spacecraft to lend its fuel to the space station's orbit. NASA tested an ISS orbit reboost using a Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo vehicle in 2022. The data from Dragon's reboost, however, will ultimately pave the way for a catastrophic "un-boosting" of the space station's orbit.
