The \u201clate load\u201d items included a habitat with 20 research mice, and a host of biological experiments, freezers and fresh food.<\/p>\n<p>Liftoff is set for 12:31 p.m. EDT (1631 GMT) Monday, with arrival at the space station scheduled for Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The robotic resupply run will mark the 39th launch of a Falcon 9 rocket, and the 11th SpaceX launch this year. SpaceX intends to recover the rocket\u2019s first stage with a propulsive vertical landing at nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station a few minutes after liftoff, aiming to land a rocket intact for the 14th time.<\/p>\n<p>The Dragon capsule and Falcon 9 rocket flying Monday are newly-manufactured, except for the landing legs at the base of the first stage, which were previously flown.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26474\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26474\" style=\"width: 675px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"
