The Dragon spacecraft for CRS-5 carried {{cvt|2317|kg}} of cargo to the ISS. Included in this was {{cvt|490|kg}} of provisions and equipment for the crew, {{cvt|717|kg}} of station hardware, {{cvt|577|kg}} of science equipment and experiments, and the {{cvt|494|kg}} [[Cloud Aerosol Transport System]] (CATS).<ref name="nsf20150110"/>
CATS is a [[Lidar|LIDAR]] remote sensing instrument designed to measure the location, composition and distribution of pollution, dust, smoke, aerosols and other particulates in the atmosphere. CATS is to be installed on the [[Kibō (ISS module)|Kibō module]] external facility and is expected to run for at least six months, and up to three years.<ref name="CATS">{{cite web |url=

=== Results of first landing attempt ===
Line 99 ⟶ 86:
The SpaceX webcast indicated that the boostback burn and re-entry burns for the descending first stage occurred, and that the descending then went "below the horizon", as expected, which eliminated the live telemetry signal. Shortly thereafter, SpaceX released information that the first stage did get to the drone spaceport ship as planned, but "landed hard ... Ship itself is fine. Some of the support equipment on the deck will need to be replaced".<ref name=sfn20150110/><ref name=sx-musk20150110>{{cite web|last1=Musk|first1=Elon|title=Post-launch Twitter news releases|url=https://twitter.com/elonmusk |publisher=SpaceX |access-date=2015-01-10|quote=''Rocket made it to drone spaceport ship, but landed hard.
