Dragon CRS-35 is a SpaceX cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station. This event tracks whether the launch occurs within various timeframes throughout 2026, with each market corresponding to a specific deadline.
Dragon CRS-35 launch resolution is determined by whether SpaceX successfully launches the mission after market issuance and before a specified deadline. Seven separate markets track launch windows at progressive intervals: August 7, August 14, August 21, August 28, September 4, October 1, and November 1, 2026. Each market independently resolves to Yes if the launch occurs within its respective timeframe. The markets function as a series of increasingly extended deadlines, allowing traders to express confidence in launch timing across different scenarios. A launch occurring on any given date satisfies all markets with deadlines on or after that date.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous double auction, meaning traders buy and sell contracts representing different launch dates. The price of each contract reflects the market's implied probability of that date being the actual launch date. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The more traders believe a particular date is likely, the higher the price of its corresponding contract will rise. This dynamic pricing mechanism allows the market to quickly incorporate new information and adjust its predictions as new developments occur regarding the SpaceX Dragon CRS-35 launch.
This market resolves around Jan 8, 2027, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. Specifically, resolution will depend on the officially reported launch date of the SpaceX Dragon CRS-35 mission, as announced by SpaceX or a recognized space agency. The market will determine which contract corresponds to the actual launch date, and those holding winning contracts will receive a payout based on the market's pricing at resolution. The precise details of payout calculations are available on Kalshi.
Several factors could significantly impact this market. Any announcements from SpaceX regarding launch delays, technical issues, or weather-related concerns would likely cause shifts in the odds. Positive news, such as successful pre-launch tests and favorable weather forecasts, could increase the probability of earlier launch dates. Unexpected events, like component failures or range conflicts, could push the market towards later dates. Monitoring SpaceX’s official communications and space industry news sources will be crucial for understanding potential catalysts that could move this market before it resolves.
