SpaceX's 29th Resupply Mission to ISS Includes Student Experiment and Live Coverage

SpaceX is planning to launch its Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday night, carrying the Dragon spacecraft's 29th Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-29) mission. On board will be supplies and science experiments, including one from a classroom at Pinecrest Academy Space Coast. Eighth graders known as the "Bacteria Boys" have designed an experiment to test if blood from a horseshoe crab can detect harmful bacteria in space. If successful, their experiment could potentially be used to produce medical equipment onsite in space. The launch is scheduled for 8:28 p.m., with a backup opportunity on Friday at 8:05 p.m.
