SpaceX CRS-9, also known as SpX-9, is a cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station scheduled for July 2016. The mission has been contracted by NASA and will be flown by SpaceX.

Launch schedule history
As of March 2015[update], a NASA Plan Flight Planning Integration Panel (FPIP) presentation had this mission scheduled no earlier than (NET) 9 December 2015. However, following the failure of SpaceX CRS-7 on June 28, 2015, the launch date was left open and, as of December 2015, was moved to NET March 21, 2016.[2] NASA later pushed this flight to June 24, June 27, and finally to July 16, 2016[1] as the crewed mission Soyuz MS-01 took the June 24 slot.
Primary payload
NASA has contracted for the CRS-9 mission from SpaceX and therefore determines the primary payload, date/time of launch, and orbital parameters for the Dragon space capsule.
NASA payload for CRS-9 may include JAXA animal research experiments.[3]
IDA-2, a docking adapter, will be launched in Dragon's trunk.[4][5]
Secondary payload
SpaceX has the primary control over manifesting, scheduling and loading secondary payloads. However, there are certain restrictions included in their contract with NASA that preclude specified hazards on the secondary payloads, and also require contract-specified probabilities of success and safety margins for any SpaceX reboosts of the secondary satellites once the Falcon 9 second stage has achieved its initial low-Earth orbit (LEO).
First stage landing
Following stage separation, SpaceX will attempt to land the first stage at Landing Zone 1, located at Cape Canaveral This will be SpaceX's second first stage landing on solid ground, following Falcon 9 Flight 20.[6]

Statement: I don't have the specific lists in front of me, I can tell you for the next — I think we started with six, seven, eight, and nine — for sure — we plan to keep on flying the animals for animal research. I believe on SpaceX-9 we're gonna also include some research from JAXA in that same area, of animal research. I'd have to go back and look, I'm sure there's some additional experiments that we're flying for fluid shifts, to support the human research …
