SpaceX Dragon Will Launch on Tuesday to Bring Cargo to the ISS
The mission will carry 6,500 pounds of supplies and experiments, and the booster will attempt a recovery landing after liftoff.
- On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, SpaceX is scheduled to launch the CRS-34 mission atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 7:16 p.m. EDT, delivering 6,500 pounds of supplies to the International Space Station.
- Launch Weather Officer Brian Cizek forecasts only a 35% chance of favorable conditions today, though prospects improve to 85% by Thursday, while booster B1096 will attempt a recovery landing at Landing Zone 40.
- Research payload includes experiments such as ODYSSEY, STORIE, and SPARK; NASA operations and integration manager Bill Spetch explained the mission includes "everything from water purification hardware to research that helps us better understand space weather."
- Marking a record-setting sixth flight, Dragon capsule C209 will dock autonomously with the orbiting lab on Thursday at 9:50 a.m. EDT, arriving two weeks before the next scheduled spacewalk on the Russian segment.
- Following its month-long stay, the spacecraft will depart in mid-June with time-sensitive research, targeting a splashdown off the Pacific Coast of California to conclude the mission.
