New NASA Cargo Launches to Space Station Aboard SpaceX-3 Mission
Approximately 2.4 tons of NASA science investigations and cargo were launched to the International Space Station aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft. The launch aboard the company’s Falcon 9 rocket took place from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on Monday, April 18 at 3:25 p.m. EDT. Dragon’s cargo will support more than 150 experiments that will be conducted during space station Expeditions 39 and 40. The spacecraft will be grappled at 7:11 a.m. on Wednesday, April 16 by Expedition 39 Commander Koichi Wakata of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. Dragon is scheduled to depart the space station May 18 for a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean west of Baja California, bringing with it about 3,500 pounds of science and research, hardware, crew supplies and spacewalk tools from the space station.
Docking was smooth.
What time will the Space-Walk commence on Wednesday, April 23rd? Will it be televised via YouTUBE / NASA?
Please stop feeding the trolls. They go away if you ignore them. These videos are for people who love space exploration and science. Ignore the paranoid conspiracy idiots.
My high school students are among many competing on a protein crystallization project that was just launched into space. We have been researching and working on this project since last spring and it is quite exciting to finally see our proteins rise to ISS! Congrats to NASA/Space X and to all the students involved in this!
Congratulation Nasa and Spacex! Gratulacje!
awesome launch if you want to see launches but in Lego you should see my videos

Fun Fact: This flight had the first Falcon 9 booster with Landing legs, was used for a Water Landing test, the same test was repeated on Orgcomm-1 Flight
