A Cargo Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to launch toward the International Space Station no earlier than October 13, according to NASA, as reported by TASS.
The spacecraft will deliver more than 2.8 tons of cargo to the station, including materials intended for research into the effects of microgravity on the growth and function of three-dimensional heart tissue models, TASS reported.
The report did not specify the exact launch site, the rocket configuration, or the full list of additional scientific experiments and supplies included in the cargo shipment.
Cargo Dragon missions are a regular part of the resupply schedule for the International Space Station, carrying food, equipment and scientific payloads for the crew aboard the orbiting laboratory.
