NASA said SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft will deliver equipment, science investigations and a new climate research investigation.

“Experiments aboard the Dragon capsule include studies of the immune system, wound healing, soil communities, and cell-free biomarkers, along with mapping the composition of Earth’s dust and testing an alternative to concrete,” NASA said in a blog.

The launch was originally set for June 10, but it was pushed back due to ongoing Dragon spacecraft inspections and repairs.
