WASHINGTON: Watch the live stream here as SpaceX launches its sixth resupply mission to the International Space Station and – hopefully – watch history as the Falcon 9 rocket lands back on Earth after liftoff. The unprecedented landing is part of SpaceX’s plan to create reusable rockets.
The sixth SpaceX cargo mission to the International Space Station under NASA’s Commercial Resupply Services contract is scheduled to launch on Monday, April 13, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Coverage of the launch will begin at 3:30 p.m. EDT.
The Falcon 9 rocket will lift off at 4:33 p.m. EDT. Dragon will be filled with more than 4,300 pounds of supplies and payloads, including critical materials to directly support about 40 of the more than 250 science and research investigations that will occur during the space station’s Expeditions 43 and 44, according to a press release from NASA.
