I know what the historical present is but its use here is confusing. Just use "dropped." If the headline needs the present use "leave".

  I don't understand what's confusing about saying "drop" and to me the headline makes perfect sense. What is it you dont like?

    It could mean the astronauts are currently dropping the bag, which is not true. The ambiguity would be resolved by using past tense.
