SpaceX to launch resupply mission to the ISS

CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION -- SpaceX is preparing to launch more than 11,000 pounds of science and supplies to the International Space Station on Saturday morning.

SpaceX stated it will be sending up the NG-24 mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station's Space Launch Complex 40.

The launch window opens at 7:41 a.m. ET.

The launch was supposed to happen on Tuesday, then Wednesday, Thursday, and even Friday before settling on Saturday.

SpaceX did not say why the launch was pushed back.

If the launch is scrubbed, the next attempt will be Sunday at 7:15 a.m. ET.

This will be the seventh mission for the first-stage booster B1094. It has some impressive missions.

After the stage separation, the first-stage rocket is scheduled to land on Landing Zone 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Because the rocket will be landing on the ground, people can expect to hear sonic booms.

NASA's Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services 24 mission, or Northrop Grumman CRS-24, will send up more than 11,000 pounds (4,990 kilograms) of food, experiments, and supplies to the International Space Station.

The Northrop Grumman company's Cygnus XL cargo spacecraft will send up the following:

Here are some of the experiments that are going up.

The Cygnus XL -- named after the late NASA astronaut Steven Nagel, who died in 2014 -- will also include the following hardware, stated NASA.
