The next shipment headed to the International Space Station packs nearly three tons of research and resupply materials.

Oh, and also a floating robot designed as a helpmeet for astronauts—scientifically, logistically, and emotionally. The bot’s full name is Crew Interactive Mobile Companion: Cimon.
