SpaceX Speeds Crew to ISS in First Trip on Used Capsule, Rocket
Four astronauts are cruising to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX capsule in the company's first crewed trip with previously flown equipment.
The Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to arrive at the orbiting lab early Saturday, slightly more than 23 hours after blasting off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 5:49 a.m. U.S. East Coast time. The capsule was performing as expected in orbit Friday about 125 miles (201 kilometers) above Earth. The first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket landed on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
