‘Twas the night before launch, and the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft were prepared to liftoff to the International Space Station to deliver cargo that will be sent aloft on the resupply flight. Launch is scheduled for 10:01 a.m. EST on Saturday, Feb. 18. The mission will set a milestone as the first launch from Launch Complex 39A since the space shuttle fleet retired in 2011.
Dragon will carry 5,500 lbs of science research, crew supplies and hardware to the orbiting laboratory in support of the station crew members. Find out more: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
