Science Launching to Station on SpaceX’s 23rd Cargo Resupply Mission – New scientific research and technology demonstrations are heading to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX cargo resupply services mission Saturday, Aug. 28.

The Dragon spacecraft will deliver these materials as part of several investigations, including a study on preventing and treating bone density loss, testing a way to monitor crew eye health, a new robotic arm demonstration, exposing materials to the harsh environment of space, mitigating stress in plants, and much more.
 
Live coverage of the launch will air on NASA Television, the NASA app and the agency’s website beginning at 3:15 a.m. EDT. You can also register to attend this launch virtually. Registrants will receive mission updates, curated launch resources, and a virtual guest passport stamp following a successful launch.
