Meanwhile, according to Tech Crunch, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said that the CRS-10 would carry a new set of equipment that will be used to study the Ozone layer from the ISS. It is worth noting that the company has rebuilt the LC-39A Pad to better meet the requirements of the Falcom 9 and other advanced Falcon Heavy rockets. The CRS-10 will carry an estimated 2,500 kilos of cargo to space.

Going back to Earth, the space ship will load about 2,300 kilos of cargo.  Moreover, the CRS-10 will facilitate and ensure the loading of the proposed Experiment Monitoring Device, the Superbug MRSA to study the bacterium's growth and mutation in space minus the gravitational pull. Also, two Earth-monitoring systems will study lightning and gasses in the Earth's Stratosphere.
