NASA and SpaceX are set to launch the CRS-34 mission on May 12 at 7:16 p.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. A SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will carry about 6,500 pounds of cargo to the International Space Station. The cargo includes new experiments to study microgravity conditions, a bone scaffold made from wood, and equipment to evaluate changes in red blood cells and the spleen in space. The Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to dock autonomously at the station's Harmony module on May 14 at 9:50 a.m. It will remain at the space station until mid-June, when it will return to Earth with time-sensitive research and cargo, splashing down off the coast of California. The mission will also deliver an instrument to study charged particles around Earth and an investigation to understand how planets form.
