SpaceX will launch another cargo mission to the International Space Station as part of NASA's Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-35) program. Liftoff is scheduled from a U.S. Space Force facility at Cape Canaveral in Florida. This will be the 35th such mission conducted by the company for the American space agency.
The spacecraft will deliver scientific experiments to orbit focused on studying human health and plants in space conditions, as well as investigating drug-resistant microorganisms. Such research has practical significance not only for the space industry, but also for medicine on Earth.
According to NASA, the results of these experiments will help better understand how to maintain astronaut health during extended space missions, including in preparation for future flights beyond Earth orbit. Studying plant behavior in microgravity could also provide valuable data for developing life support systems for deep space travel.
Research involving antibiotic-resistant organisms conducted in microgravity conditions is being viewed by scientists as an opportunity to obtain new data on the mechanisms of bacterial resistance to drugs—a problem that remains relevant for terrestrial medicine as well.
Mission CRS-35 continues NASA and SpaceX's long-standing cooperation on delivering cargo and scientific equipment to the ISS, which began under the program for commercial resupply of the station and is regularly supplemented with new scientific objectives.
