On Monday, April 2 at 4:30 p.m. EDT, SpaceX had a successful liftoff of its fourteenth Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-14) to the International Space Station. The Dragon spacecraft separated from the Falcon 9 rocket’s second stage about 10 minutes after liftoff and will attach to the space station on Wednesday, April 4. Dragon will return to Earth with more than 3,900 pounds of cargo after an approximately one-month stay at the ISS.
Both Falcon 9 and the Dragon spacecraft for the CRS-14 mission are flight-proven. Falcon 9’s first stage previously supported the CRS-12 mission in August 2017 and Dragon previously supported the CRS-8 mission in April 2016. SpaceX did not attempt to recover Falcon 9’s first stage after launch.
