Script
NASA's 35th SpaceX cargo flight lifted off at 6:33 a.m. Eastern Time Tuesday from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. A Falcon 9 rocket sent a Dragon spacecraft toward the International Space Station with more than 6,300 pounds of supplies and hardware, including the station's final pair of roll-out solar arrays. The cargo also carries hardware to make artificial retinas in weightlessness, three-dimensional heart-tissue models, materials for a new kind of glass, and brain organoids aimed at Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and multiple sclerosis. NASA says Dragon is scheduled to dock at 11 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, October 15, at the space-facing port of the Harmony module. Docking coverage begins at 9:15 a.m. The ship is planned to stay until mid-November, then splash down off California with time-critical research. It is a commercial resupply mission.
