Launch Report: SpaceX and NASA Launch CRS-2 SpX-32 (CRS-32)

SpaceX and NASA launched the CRS-32 mission early Monday morning from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center. After an apparently event-free countdown, liftoff was at 04:15:34 AM ET. About 7.5 minutes after liftoff, the booster used for the flight returned to land at Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Shortly after reaching its initial orbit Cargo Dragon successfully separated from its launch vehicle and is now targeted to dock at the International Space Station on Tuesday, April 22, around 8:20 AM. ET.

Payload

According to NASA, slightly less than 6,700 pounds of cargo have been sent to ISS-NL. Hardware, supplies and science make up the bulk of the payload sent on it way earlier today.
