NASA and SpaceX are preparing for the 32nd commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station (ISS), with the launch scheduled no earlier than 4:15 a.m. EDT on Monday, April 21, 2025.

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will launch aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, delivering essential supplies, equipment, and scientific experiments to the orbiting laboratory.

U.S. media interested in covering prelaunch and launch activities can apply for credentials online, with the deadline for U.S. citizens being 11:59 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 4, 2025; approved journalists will receive confirmation via email, and NASA’s Kennedy newsroom is available for questions or special requests, including Spanish-language support through Antonia Jaramillo or Messod Bendayan.

Dragon’s cargo will include food and equipment for the crew, as well as innovative experiments such as a demonstration of refined maneuvers for free-floating robots, an enhanced air quality monitoring system for future lunar and Mars missions, and two atomic clocks to study fundamental physics and precision timekeeping.

Since the arrival of its first crew in November 2000, the ISS has hosted 283 people from 23 countries, serving as a vital platform for research in biology, biotechnology, Earth and space science, physical sciences, and technology development.

These U.S.-led resupply missions enhance NASA’s ability to conduct groundbreaking investigations, supporting the Artemis program’s lunar ambitions and paving the way for human exploration of Mars.
