NASA Invites Media to SpaceX’s 34th Resupply Launch to Space Station
Gerelle Q. Dodson Apr 20, 2026 MEDIA ADVISORY M26-033

(...) In addition to food, supplies, and equipment for the crew onboard the station, Dragon will deliver several new experiments, including a project to determine how well microgravity simulators mimic microgravity conditions, a bone scaffold made from wood that could produce new treatments for fragile bone conditions like osteoporosis, and equipment to help researchers evaluate how red blood cells and the spleen change in space. The Dragon spacecraft also will carry a new instrument to monitor charged particles around the Earth that impact power grids and satellites, and an investigation that could provide a fundamental understanding of how planets form.

ISS - NASA's 34th resupply mission with SpaceX (CRS-34) is scheduled for this Wednesday, May 12, with a Cargo Dragon 2. The C209, to be precise; it'll already be its 6th flight!

➡️ This launch from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral will carry approximately 3 tons of supplies and equipment to the International Space Station, where Dragon will autonomously dock to the Harmony module.

➡️ Among the notable scientific experiments, the ODYSSEY project will evaluate the effectiveness of Earth-based microgravity simulators, while STORIE will monitor charged particles in orbit, essential for understanding the impacts of space conditions on terrestrial infrastructure. Other projects like Laplace and Green Bone will explore the dynamics of dust particles and the development of bone cells in microgravity, respectively, with implications for human health.

➡️ The Cargo Dragon 2 will remain docked to the ISS for about a month before returning to the Pacific Ocean, bringing back critical equipment, including an ocular imaging device and an air filtration system.

🔶 This mission, like the others, underscores the ongoing importance of the ISS for scientific research and future lunar and Martian missions under the Artemis program.

SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, May 12, for Falcon 9’s launch of Dragon’s 34th Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-34) mission for NASA to the International Space Station from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 7:16 p.m. ET, with a backup launch opportunity available on Wednesday, May 13, at 6:50 p.m. ET.

CRS-34 is the sixth flight for the Dragon spacecraft supporting this mission, which previously flew CRS-22, CRS-24, CRS-27, CRS-30, and CRS-32 to and from the space station. After an approximate 38-hour flight, Dragon will autonomously dock with the orbiting laboratory on Thursday, May 14, at around 9:50 a.m. ET.

This will be the sixth flight of the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched KF-01, IMAP, NROL-77, GPS III-9, and one Starlink mission. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on Landing Zone 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
