DRAGON CRS-28 is a Commercial Resupply Service mission to the International Space Station (ISS) launched on 5 June 2023. The mission is contracted by NASA and is flown by SpaceX using a Cargo Dragon C208. This would be the eighth flight for SpaceX under NASA's CRS Phase 2. The payload includes a third pair of new solar arrays using XTJ Prime space solar cells. They will be delivered to the station in the unpressurized trunk of the SpaceX Cargo Dragon spacecraft. The installation of these new solar arrays will require two spacewalks: one to prepare the worksite with a modification kit and another to install the new panel.
