At 6:33 a.m. EDT, more than 6,300 pounds of scientific investigations and cargo launched to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft as part of the company’s 35th commercial resupply services mission for NASA.
The spacecraft lifted off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. About nine minutes after launch, Dragon separated from the rocket’s second stage, opened its nosecone, and began a carefully choreographed series of thruster firings to reach the space station.
Dragon is scheduled to arrive at the orbiting outpost at approximately 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 15. NASA will provide live rendezvous and docking coverage beginning at 9:15 a.m. across a variety of platforms. Learn where to watch online at:
