SpaceX's CRS-25 cargo mission is about to happen. Once the independent space agency's 25th cargo re-supply activity is expected to bring advanced tools to help astronauts conduct major experiments at the International Space Station.

In this NASA handout image, A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the company's Crew Dragon spacecraft is launched from Launch Complex 39A on NASAs SpaceX Demo-2 mission to the International Space Station with NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley onboard.
"Experiments aboard the Dragon capsule include studies of the immune system, wound healing, soil communities, and cell-free biomarkers," said NASA via its official blog post.
The international space union added that there would also be Earth dust composition mapping, as well as alternative concrete testings.
SpaceX CRS-25 Cargo Mission
According to Space.Com's latest report, SpaceX's CRS-25 cargo mission will launch this June 10. The space company of Elon Musk will use its Falcon 9 rocket to send the Dragon capsule to the large orbiting laboratory.

Space X's Falcon 9 rocket as it lifts off from space launch complex 40 at Cape Canaveral, Florida June 28, 2015 with a Dragon CRS7 spacecraft. The unmanned SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket exploded minutes after liftoff from Cape Canaveral, Florida, following what was meant to be a routine cargo mission to the International Space Station.
SpaceX will use Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to send its Falcon 9 spacecraft into outer space. On the other hand, here are the experiments that the new CRS-25 cargo mission will bring to the International Space Station:
- Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT)
- Immunosenescence investigation
- ESA's Suture In Space investigation
- NASA Division of Biological and Physical Sciences' DynaMoS experiment
- ISS National Lab's Genes in Space-9 investigation
These are just some of the activities once SpaceX's Dragon capsule reaches ISS. You can visit this link to see their exact details.
More SpaceX Missions To Help NASA
Recently, NASA announced a new contract with SpaceX that will allow it to take advantage of more space missions from the independent agency.
The international space union will be able to use five more space launches by SpaceX. Since this is launching rockets to space is quite expensive, NASA needs to pay around an increase in its $3.5 billion contracts.
This just shows that SpaceX is growing further in the space industry. But, it still has a lot of things to do, especially since there are some issues it needs to address.
In May, experts warned that SpaceX's South Texas expansion could endanger shorebirds.
Meanwhile, the 12th SpaceX Falcon 9 mission recently happened.
