SpaceX is launching the CRS-11 Dragon capsule to the International Space Station (ISS) on June 1 at 5:52 p.m. EDT (June 2 at 5:52 a.m. BJT), in what will be the aerospace manufacturer's eleventh of 14 resupply missions for NASA, and the first time China will gain access into the habitable artificial satellite.
On May 28, SpaceX performed its customary static fire test on Falcon 9 rocket at Kennedy Space Center in Florida in preparation for Thursday's launch.
The mission will see some 1,700 kilograms of pressurized and 1,600 kilograms of unpressurized cargo, or payloads that will be used externally on the ISS, delivered.

The capsule will also carry a device weighing 3 kilograms from China, which will be sent to the space station for scientific research. It will mark China's first official experimental project onboard the ISS, taking the country a step further in its space expedition.
China plans to build its own space station by 2022.
Prior to 2015, there had been no official cooperation in the space field between China and the US, as NASA and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy were prohibited by Republican Congressman Frank Wolf from cooperating with China on space activities.

In August 2015, an agreement was inked between the Beijing Institute of Technology and NanoRacks, a US company aiming to help commercial companies and organizations cooperate with the ISS. According to the agreement, Chinese researchers will be able to send China's own scientific experiment devices to the ISS, and investigate how the space environment affects DNA.
According to SpaceX, the capsule will arrive at the ISS on June 4 and remain attached to the orbiting lab for about a month.
在6月1日晚5:52时分（美国东部夏令时），航天航空公司SpaceX向国际空间站（ISS）发射了CRS-11“龙”太空舱。这是该公司为美国国家航空航天局(NASA)提供的第十一次商业补给服务（CRS）。同时，此次CRS-11计划将帮助中国第一次登陆国际空间站这个可居住的人造卫星。
为了准备和调试CRS-11的发射工作， SpaceX在5月28号时于佛罗里达州的肯尼迪航天中心用Falcon 9火箭进行了惯例静态点火测试。
本次计划将会向国际空间站输送1700千克压缩货品和1600千克非压缩货品或外用有效载荷。
本次CRS-11航天器还装载一台来自中国，重量为3千克的科研设备。这是中国第一次在国际空间站上进行的官方实验性科研项目，本次项目将会带领中国在太空探索路上迈出更远的一步。
中国计划在2022年建立自己的空间站。
在2015年之前，中美之间并没有在太空领域有任何官方性质的合作。这是因为共和党国会成员Frank Wolf此前提议禁止美国国家航空航天局和白宫科学和技术政策局与中国进行太空合作。
在2015年8月，外围滚球app：与一个与国际空间站紧密联系的美国公司NanoRacks达成协议。根据该协议，中国研究员将能够把中国自己的科研设备发送到国际空间站并对“太空环境对DNA的影响”这一课题进行研究。
按照SpaceX所说，本次发送的航天器将于6月4日到达国际空间站并与在轨实验室对接长达一个月。
