NASAs SpaceX CRS-32: Dragon Launches at 4:15 a.m. EDT
At 4:15 a.m. EDT, about 6,700 pounds of scientific investigations and cargo launched to the International Space Station on the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft for the company's 32nd commercial resupply services mission for NASA. The spacecraft lifted off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. About 9 minutes after launch, Dragon will separate from the rocket's second stage, open its nosecone, and begin a carefully choreographed series of thruster firings to reach the space station.
Dragon will arrive at the orbiting outpost at 8:20 a.m. Tuesday, April 22, and dock autonomously to the zenith, space-facing port of the space station's Harmony module.
