NASA and SpaceX are targeting May 12 for the launch of a new commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS).
A SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying about 6,500 pounds of cargo is scheduled to lift off at 7:16 p.m. Eastern Time from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in the southeastern U.S. state of Florida.
The spacecraft is expected to dock autonomously with the ISS at about 9:50 a.m. on May 14.
Dragon will deliver supplies for the crew aboard the space station, along with several new experiments, according to NASA.
The spacecraft is scheduled to remain at the orbiting laboratory until mid-June before returning to Earth with time-sensitive research samples and cargo.
This will mark the 34th SpaceX commercial resupply services mission to the ISS for NASA.
