In a few days, SpaceX will launch its first ‘official’ commercial flight to the International Space Station (ISS) with a Falcon 9 rocket after successfully conducting a test mission earlier this year. SpaceX, who holds a resupply contract with NASA, plans to launch the Falcon 9 rocket on Oct 7, at 8:34pm EDT (Oct 8, at 10:34am in Australia), with around 400kg of resupply goods on board, which includes materials for over 60 new experiments. Rendezvous with the ISS should occur Oct 10.
