The payload, a tantalizing mix of holiday treats and crucial supplies, includes pumpkin spice cappuccinos, chocolates, cranberry sauce, turkey, pizza kits, fresh produce, and speciality cheeses.
Notably, a replacement tool bag lost during a recent spacewalk is also part of the cargo, emphasizing the mission's practical significance.
Among the scientific payloads is the Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE), delving into gravity waves and their impact on space weather.
