Dragon capsule launches on SpaceX's 25th cargo mission to the space station

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida this evening (July 14), sending a robotic Dragon resupply craft toward the International Space Station (ISS).

The mission, known as CRS-25, lifted off tonight at 8:44 p.m. EDT (0044 GMT on July 15) from KSC's Launch Complex 39A. The two stages of the Falcon 9separated 2.5 minutes into flight. As the rocket's second stage propelled Dragon into orbit, the main booster began its return to Earth, safely landing on SpaceX's A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship in the Atlantic Ocean about 7.5 minutes after launch.

The Dragon will spend the next day and a half catching up to the ISS. The cargo capsule is scheduled to dock with the orbiting lab around 11:20 a.m. EDT (1520 GMT) on Saturday morning (July 16)…..
