Spacex Dragon capsule launched to Space Station
By Marcia Dunn - Associated Press -
CAPE CANAVERAL,
Fla. (AP) -- A commercial cargo ship rocketed into orbit Sunday in
pursuit of the International Space Station, the first of a dozen supply
runs under a mega-contract with NASA.
It was
the second launch of a Dragon capsule to the orbiting lab by the
California-based SpaceX company. The first was last spring.
This
time was no test flight, however, and the spacecraft carried 1,000
pounds of key science experiments and other precious gear on this truly
operational mission. There was also a personal touch: chocolate-vanilla
swirl ice cream tucked in a freezer for the three station residents.
