SpaceX's Cargo Dragon spacecraft has docked with the International Space Station (ISS) as part of the 34th commercial resupply mission to orbit. The docking was broadcast live on the website of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The docking occurred at 6:37 a.m. EDT (10:37 a.m. GMT). The spacecraft delivered approximately 2.9 tons of payload to the station, including equipment for experiments studying the effects of microgravity on bacteria and the behavior of microparticles in weightlessness.
A Falcon 9 carrier rocket with the Cargo Dragon launched on Friday from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The spacecraft's journey to orbit took about 36 hours. In mid-June, it is expected to undock from the ISS and return to Earth with the experiment results.
In addition to SpaceX's Cargo Dragon, Northrop Grumman's Cygnus spacecraft deliver cargo to the station on the American side. However, upon returning to Earth, the latter burn up in the dense layers of the atmosphere along with the trash they collect from the ISS.
