Next stop International Space Station
From:Agencies  |  2017-02-20 09:35

SpaceX blasts off its Falcon 9 rocket carrying the unmanned Dragon cargo ship, packed with more than 2,267 kilograms of food, gear and science experiments for the six astronauts living at the International Space Station. The mission was the first to take off from NASA’s historic launchpad 39A, the origin of the pioneering United States space flights that took astronauts to the Moon in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the space shuttle missions that ran from 1981 to 2011. Yesterday’s launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, was initially planned for Saturday, but canceled 13 seconds before lift-off due to an engine glitch.
