SpaceX launched its 17th cargo resupply mission to the International Jabber Build on Could maybe per chance 6, 2019. The Dragon cargo spacecraft arrived at the reputation two days later and docked at the Team spirit module, the build it remained for one month earlier than returning to Earth with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on June 3.
The Dragon delivered greater than 5,500 lbs. (2,495 kilograms) of provides and science experiments for the six-person crew of Expedition 59, and it returned to Earth with 2,269 lbs. (1,029 kg) of executed science experiments that can head to varied labs on Earth for analysis.
Here, a lengthy-exposure describe captures the rude predawn originate of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket (left) and the return to Earth of its first-stage booster.
Though SpaceX is notorious for reusing its rocket boosters and capsules, the firm used a price-novel Falcon 9 rocket for this mission. Nonetheless, it was the 2d flight of this explicit Dragon capsule.
