SpaceX Successfully Launches Another Resupply Flight To ISS

Hawthorne-based SpaceX has again successfully launched another spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS), delivering 5,000 pounds of cargo into space for docking with the ISS this week. The launch--from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida--was delayed by a day. The successful launch was the third use of a Dragon spacecraft, which also was used in the CRS-6 mission in April of 2015 and CRS-13 mission in December of 2017. The Dragon spacecraft is expected to be captured by the crew of the ISS on Saturday.
