The private company’s 26th resupply mission for NASA will carry an experiment that could eventually allow astronauts to grow their own food.
NASA is gearing up to launch a cargo mission to the International Space Station, delivering supplies and a new batch of experiments aboard a brand new SpaceX Dragon capsule.
The launch of the 26th commercial resupply mission is slated for no earlier than 3:54 p.m. (all times Eastern) on Tuesday from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Dragon capsule will be attached to SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, and is scheduled to dock with the ISS on Wednesday at 5:57 a.m. NASA will begin its live coverage of the launch at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
