Dragon CRS-2 SpX-35

A Dragon has settled into its nest after a more than two-day-long orbital pursuit. SpaceX's cargo Dragon , flying the CRS-35 (35th Commercial Resupply Services) mission for NASA , rendezvoused with the International Space Station (ISS) this morning (Oct. 15), delivering fresh food, long-term provisions, research and hardware to the orbital lab and its crew. Coverage of Dragon's arrival at the ISS began at 9:00 a.m. EDT (1315 GMT), as the spacecraft approached from approximately 2.3 miles (3.6 km) away. NASA astronaut Anil Menon served as the station's prime crew member this morning,…

Sunlight illuminates the exhaust plumes of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the company’s Dragon spacecraft on Oct. 13, 2026. This visual phenomenon is known as a “jellyfish”; it happens near sunrise or sunset when the exhaust plume from the rocket becomes brightly illuminated, creating a glowing shape resembling a jellyfish. The mission lifted off […]

If so, it's not an alien invasion (sorry); it was SpaceX launching its latest mission to the International Space Station (ISS). What is it? Just before dawn on Tuesday (Oct. 13), a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, carrying to space a robotic Dragon capsule filled with thousands of pounds of cargo. The liftoff kicked…

The Dragon spacecraft will bring around 6,300 lbs of supplies, equipment, and human health experiments to the Expedition 75/76 crew.

Rockets are launching to space on a near-daily basis these days, but short of livestreaming a liftoff from the comfort of your Wi-Fi router, relatively few spectators are in the right place and time to see one with their own eyes. That wasn't the case Tuesday morning (Oct. 13), when SpaceX launched the CRS-35 mission for NASA . A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 6:35 a.m. EDT (1035 GMT), carrying a cargo variant of SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft on the company's 35th commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS).…
