SpaceX launches a spacecraft to bring supplies and new research equipment to ISS
SpaceX Company, which specializes in providing cargo services to space for the US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), launched on July 25 the Dragon spacecraft to carry supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). .
On the Twitter account, SpaceX said the Dragon spacecraft carried 2,268 kg of supplies, the research device was launched at 10: 00 (GMT) from the 40-room spacecraft complex at the airbase. Canaveral, Florida state of America.

About 10 minutes later, the 2nd floor engine completely burned and the Dragon ship went into orbit. The crew members on ISS will use a 17.6m robot arm to "capture" the Dragon ship and connect it to the ISS station on July 27.
Among Dragon's carrying equipment is NASA's International Docking Adapter-3 assembly device for Boeing's space-based CST-100 transports and SpaceX's Dragon Crew to "dock" in the near future.
NASA said the Dragon spacecraft also brought up the BioFabrication Facility, which was designed to print human-like tissues in micro-gravity conditions, in the plan to create human organs in the universe using sophisticated 3D printing techniques.
Another study will be conducted on ISS, the Biorock study , developed by scientists from the University of Edinburgh to study the physical interaction of liquids, stones and organisms in micro-gravity conditions to train needles by microorganisms in the universe.
Dragon spacecraft will stay on ISS for about a month before returning to Earth.
