SpaceX Launch

The 34th SpaceX commercial resupply mission under contract with NASA is headed to the International Space Station with new scientific experiments after lifting off on a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to autonomously dock at the forward port of the station’s Harmony module. The spacecraft will deliver several new experiments, including a project to determine how well Earth-based simulators mimic microgravity conditions and equipment to help researchers evaluate how red blood cells and the spleen change in space.
