SpaceX's 29th Cargo Mission: NASA Resupply Launch Tonight
SpaceX is set to launch a Falcon 9 rocket tonight on NASA's 29th commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station. The uncrewed Dragon capsule will deliver over 6,500 pounds of supplies, equipment, and science experiments, including a study on horseshoe crab blood's ability to detect E. coli bacteria in microgravity. The launch has a 95% chance of favorable weather conditions, and the cargo also includes a laser terminal for faster data relay and experiments on reproductive health, water filtration, and respiratory distress syndromes.
