SpaceX space truck Dragon from successfully launched for the ISS for the third time



The other day on Habré a note appeared with reference to the broadcast of the SpaceX space truck Dragon. That time, unfortunately, the spacecraft had problems, so the launch was postponed. This time everything went well, and Dragon went to the ISS at 15:25 by the time of Cape Canaveral.

It is worth recalling that this time the spacecraft "to the eyeballs" is filled with the necessary equipment, food and other necessary things on the ISS. The total mass of the payload is 2.5 tons.

The number of cargoes includes equipment for carrying out laser communication with the Earth, about which the news was published on Habré. Also, the astronauts sent an interesting installation for growing vegetables and lettuce. All this will be tested in the near future.



The first time SpaceX sent Dragon two years ago, on May 22, 2012. The second start took place in March 2013. And, finally, the third start was successfully held this year. Interestingly, someone from the habrasociety community watched the ship launch broadcast?
