Summary
| Description |
English: CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – On Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, Space Launch Complex-40 is ablaze as the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket begins its ascent after liftoff at 3:44 a.m. EDT. The launch is the company's second demonstration test flight for NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services, or COTS, Program. During the flight, the Dragon capsule will conduct a series of check-out procedures to test and prove its systems, including rendezvous and berthing with the International Space Station. If the capsule performs as planned, the cargo and experiments it is carrying will be transferred to the station. The cargo includes food, water and provisions for the station’s Expedition crews, such as clothing, batteries and computer equipment. Under COTS, NASA has partnered with two aerospace companies to deliver cargo to the station.

Podczas misji kapsuła będzie przeprowadzać serię procedur testowych dowodzących poprawność systemu, włączając lot spotkaniowy i połączenie z ISS. Ładunek zawiera żywność, zaopatrzenie dla złogi misji, takie jak ubrania, baterie, wyposażenie komputerowe. COSTS i NASA nawiązały współpracę z dwoma prywatnymi firmami, które bezpiecznie dostarczą ładunek do ISS. |
