NASA and SpaceX are targeting a 7:16 p.m. EDT Tuesday, May 12, for the next Commercial Resupply Services mission to the International Space Station (ISS), according to both NASA and reporting by The Washington Times. The launch uses a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft to carry supplies, science payloads, and equipment to the orbital outpost. NASA says the mission will be the 34th SpaceX commercial resupply flight to the ISS under NASA’s CRS program. The spacecraft is expected to deliver about 6,500 pounds of cargo. The agencies’ coverage and reporting indicate the planned launch time is the same across sources, with the mission scheduled to lift off and subsequently arrive at the ISS after the launch. Both accounts describe the target date and time as a planned schedule announced by NASA and SpaceX, and they frame the flight as the next in SpaceX’s series of resupply missions supporting ongoing ISS operations.
