US space firm SpaceX on Saturday launched supplies to the International Space Station (ISS), including an experiment device from Chinese university the Beijing Institute of Technology that will test the effects of space environments on DNA.
The 3.5-kilogram device carried among the cargo will seek to find if space radiation and microgravity cause mutations among antibody-encoding genes and how it happens.
The Chinese payload was first reported in 2015, when an agreement was reached with NanoRacks, a Houston-based company that offers services for the commercial utilization of the ISS.
Under the agreement, NanoRacks will deliver the device, which is independently designed and built by Chinese scientists, to the US side of the space station and astronauts there will conduct studies using the device in about two weeks, sending data back to the Chinese researchers.
Watch CGTN's video on the Chinese experiment below:
NASA spokesperson Kathryn Hambleton confirmed there was a Chinese experiment device launched on this mission, known as SpaceX CRS-11.
Although a US law known as the Wolf amendment bans cooperation between NASA and Chinese government entities, this deal is purely commercial and therefore considered legal.
"NASA complied with all legal requirements to notify the Congress of this activity, and all of the ISS partners approved the inclusion of the experiment," Hambleton said in an email.

The SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft lifted off on the company's Falcon 9 rocket at 5:07 p.m. EDT (2107 GMT) on Saturday from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
About 10 minutes later, the rocket's first stage made a successful landing at SpaceX's Landing Zone 1, just south of the launch site at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
On this trip, the Dragon will deliver almost 2,700 kilograms of supplies for astronauts living in the space station, including solar panels, tools for Earth-observation and equipment to study neutron stars.
SpaceX向空間站發(fā)射了中國(guó)的實(shí)驗(yàn)設(shè)備和其他補(bǔ)給品
上周六，美國(guó)太空探索技術(shù)公司SpaceX向國(guó)際空間站（ISS）發(fā)射了補(bǔ)給品，其中包括了中國(guó)北京理工大學(xué)的實(shí)驗(yàn)裝置，這套裝置將測(cè)試空間環(huán)境對(duì)DNA的影響。
這套3.5千克的設(shè)備裝載了在貨物上，將探索空間輻射和微重力是否會(huì)導(dǎo)致抗體編碼基因之間的突變，以及如何導(dǎo)致抗體編碼基因之間的突變。
2015年，媒體首次報(bào)道了中國(guó)的有效載荷。中國(guó)當(dāng)時(shí)與位于休斯敦的公司NanoRacks達(dá)成協(xié)議，該公司將為國(guó)際空間站的商業(yè)用途提供服務(wù)。
根據(jù)協(xié)議，NanoRacks會(huì)把由中國(guó)科學(xué)家獨(dú)立設(shè)計(jì)和建造的設(shè)備提供給美國(guó)空間站，美國(guó)方面的宇航員將在兩周內(nèi)進(jìn)行研究，并將數(shù)據(jù)發(fā)回給中國(guó)研究人員。
觀看以下由中國(guó)國(guó)際電視臺(tái)(GNTV)關(guān)于中國(guó)實(shí)驗(yàn)的報(bào)導(dǎo)：
美國(guó)國(guó)家航空航天局（NASA）發(fā)言人凱瑟琳·哈姆伯頓（Kathryn Hambleton）已證實(shí)此次發(fā)射任務(wù)將有一個(gè)中國(guó)的實(shí)驗(yàn)裝置，被稱為SpaceX CRS-11。
雖然被稱為“狼”修正案的美國(guó)法律禁止美國(guó)國(guó)家航空航天局與中國(guó)政府機(jī)構(gòu)進(jìn)行合作，但由于這項(xiàng)交易純粹是商業(yè)性的，因此被美國(guó)視為合法。
“NASA在遵守所有法律要求的前提下向國(guó)會(huì)告知這了一活動(dòng)，并且已經(jīng)取得了所有國(guó)際空間站合作伙伴的批準(zhǔn)，”哈姆伯頓在一封電子郵件中說(shuō)到。
2017年6月3日星期六，龍飛船從佛羅里達(dá)州卡納維拉爾角的美國(guó)國(guó)家航空航天局肯尼迪航天中心39A號(hào)發(fā)射。不久后，SpaceX公司“獵鷹9號(hào)”火箭第一級(jí)助推器被視為已登陸。（法新社拍攝）
在星期六（美國(guó)東部時(shí)間）（2107 GMT）下午5點(diǎn)07分，從美國(guó)佛羅里達(dá)州肯尼迪航天中心發(fā)射的SpaceX 龍貨運(yùn)飛船與公司的“獵鷹9號(hào)”火箭剝離。
大約10分鐘后，火箭的一級(jí)助推器在SpaceX的著陸區(qū)1登陸成功，著陸區(qū)就在卡納維拉爾角空軍基地的發(fā)射場(chǎng)的南邊。
在這次旅行中，龍飛船將為空間站的宇航員提供近二千七百公斤的補(bǔ)給品，包括太陽(yáng)能電池板，地球觀測(cè)工具和研究中子星的設(shè)備等。
