Manifest
CRS-35 will carry replacement ISS Roll Out Solar Arrays.[1] The mission will also carry a payload designed by Langston University.[4]
CRS-35 will also carry three live Halocaridina rubra shrimp as part of the SCAMPI Project, an initiative carried out between 51 students at The Spring Institute for Forests on the Moon, École Polytechnique, ISAE-SUPAERO, IPSA, École d'ingénieurs de PURPAN, Politecnico di Torino, University of Trento, University of Pavia, Utrecht University, TU Delft, Queen Mary University of London, and the University of Arizona.

Launch
CRS-35 was originally scheduled to launch in November 2026. However, during the launch of Soyuz MS-28 for the ISS on 27 November 2025, the launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome's Site 31 suffered extensive damage and was rendered inoperable, resulting in an acceleration of future resupply missions.[1][7] In December 2025, CRS-35's launch was to be accelerated to August 2026.[7][8] Following the rapid repair of Site 31, CRS-35 was moved back to fall 2026.[1]
