Dragon Safely on its Way to Space Station for NASA\u2019s SpaceX Mission<\/h2>\n

SpaceX\u2019s Dragon spacecraft \u2013 carrying about 6,500 pounds of critical science, hardware, and crew supplies \u2013 is on its way to the International Space Station following a successful launch from NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The company\u2019s Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Launch Complex 39A at 8:28 p.m. EST Thursday, Nov. 9, on SpaceX\u2019s 29th resupply services mission for NASA to the orbiting laboratory.<\/p>\n

The mission marks the ninth flight on the Commercial Resupply Services-2 SpaceX contract and the second flight of this Dragon, which previously flew on NASA\u2019s SpaceX 26th resupply services mission.<\/p>\n

Dragon now is safely in orbit, and its solar arrays have deployed. A series of thruster firings will help Dragon reach the space station at approximately 5:20 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 11. Upon its arrival, it will dock autonomously to the space-facing port of the station\u2019s Harmony module, with NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O\u2019Hara monitoring operations.<\/p>\n

Live coverage of Dragon\u2019s arrival will air on NASA TV, the NASA app<\/a>, and the agency\u2019s website<\/a> beginning at 3:45 a.m. EST.<\/p>\n

Dragon will remain at the space station for about one month until it returns to Earth with research and return cargo, splashing down off the coast of Florida.
