SpaceX is set to launch CRS-34 from Cape Canaveral, delivering about 6,500 pounds of NASA cargo and science experiments to the International Space Station aboard a Falcon 9.
CRS-34 marks SpaceX’s 34th NASA Commercial Resupply Services flight, underscoring ongoing support for the ISS.
Dragon will autonomously dock with the Harmony module about 38 hours after liftoff, continuing its multi-mission cargo role.
The mission carries five new science payloads, including ODYSSEY, STORIE, Laplace, Green Bone, and SPARK, addressing microgravity, space weather, dust dynamics, bone health, and astronaut physiology.
Dragon’s capability to bring material back to Earth distinguishes it from many ISS resupply vehicles.
The cargo includes a bone scaffold made from wood, highlighting potential osteoporosis treatments and bone-health research in microgravity.
Dragon is planned to stay docked for about a month, with a mid-June splashdown off California after completing its visit to the station.
NASA and Space.com will provide live coverage of liftoff, docking, and the mission’s science payload.
Weather conditions posed a 35% chance of favorable launch conditions, with a backup window available the next day as a contingency.
The Falcon 9 booster will land at Cape Canaveral’s Landing Zone 40, with residents likely to hear a sonic boom on approach.
