During a panel discussions from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida,
scientists and researchers discussed the onboard science and research
studies being carried to space aboard the SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft
which include the Cloud-Aerosol Transport System and supplies
for research on the risks of in-flight infections in astronauts, as well
as research on degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's.
The
fifth SpaceX cargo mission to the International Space Station will carry more than
3,700 pounds of scientific experiments, technology demonstrations and
supplies, including critical materials to support 256 science and
research investigations that will take place on the space station.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will carry the Dragon cargo ship into orbit on Friday with liftoff planned at 5:09 a.m. EST.
