The Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-29) mission will haul 6500 pounds of equipment, science experiments, and more to the ISS.

That includes an impressive project by students at Pinecrest Academy Space Coast in Melbourne.

The 8th graders were selected out of thousands of entries.

Their work looks into whether the blood of horseshoe crabs can be used to detect bacterial contamination in microgravity.

SpaceX said CRS-29 is the second flight for its Dragon spacecraft.

After an approximate 32-hour flight, officials said Dragon will autonomously dock with the ISS on Saturday morning.
