SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft attached successfully* to the International Space Station at approximately this morning-8:56 a.m. EST Sunday. Dragon arrived to station with over 2,300 pounds of cargo and packaging to ensure safe travel, and during the next 22 days, astronauts will unload and then load cargo, including materials to support important science experiments. Dragon will return to Earth with over 3,000 pounds of cargo, and has a targeted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja, Calif. on March 25. Dragon is the only spacecraft in the world today capable of returning large amounts of cargo to Earth. Read more: https://spacex.com/updates.php
