A SpaceX freight ship with £ 5,000 (2.270 kilograms) deliveries will be launched for the international space station early Sunday morning (August 24) and you can watch the action live.
A robot kite capsule should lift on A Spaceex Falcon 9 rocket on Sunday at 2:45 a.m. Edt (0645 GMT) from the space start complex 40 AT Cape Canaveral Space Force Station In the Florida coast. The start starts the 33rd mission of SpaceX for the Commercial supply service of NASA, hence the name of the flight: CRS-33.
The cover begins about 20 minutes before the start. You can view it here at Space.com, with the kind permission of NASA or via the space agency.

If the start for plan runs, the CRS-33 dragon will be docking International space station (ISS) on Monday (August 25) at the forward port of the Harmony module. The rendezvous cover begins with the same feeds from 6 a.m. Edt (1000 GMT), with the docking planned for 7:30 a.m. Edt (1130 GMT).
In the near future Kite will also carry out a “new recording demonstration” at the ISS – which means that it will fire its engines to bring the space station higher in its orbit. These new bonds are regularly required Earth About 400 kilometers high. The resulting resistance, as low as it is, requires that attempts from experiments increase the ward from time to time so that it can continue to work.
These new bonds have been carried out by Russian in the past Progress space ship. But Russia can Withdraw from the ISS program As soon as NASA commissioned its US cargo shipping providers -SpaceX and Northrop Grummanthat builds the cygnus vehicle – to carry out demonstrations as additions. (It is expected that the ISS will continue to work by the end of 2030 or early 2031.)

Redesign missions such as CRS-33 start every few months to provide fresh food, more supplies and equipment as well as new scientific investigations to the astronauts living on board. And a lot rises on Sunday.
“In addition to food, deliveries and equipment for the crew, Dragon delivers several experiments, including bone-forming stem cells to examine the prevention of bone loss and materials on 3D-print medical implants that could drive treatments for nerve damage on earth” opinion. “Dragon also delivers biodeterma liver tissue to examine the development of blood vessels in microgravity and to supply 3D pressure metal cubes in space.
The CRS-33 dragon is expected to remain at the ISS until December. The astronauts of the space station then invite dragon with freight and completed science experiments for shipping back to earth, and the spaceship will fall off the California coast in the Pacific Ocean.
