Apart from food and stores the spacecraft was carrying a new set of IROSA solar arrays for the ISS.  Dragon CRS-28 was initially placed into a 407 x 402 km low Earth orbit at an inclination of 51.7 degrees. The Falcon 9’s reusable first stage B1077 on its fifth flight landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas drone barge down range in the Atlantic. There were also six cubesats aboard which will be released from the ISS: Moonlighter, Essence, Iris, RADSAT-SK, SC-ODIN and Ukpik 1.
