ORLANDO, Fla. - NASA's SpaceX Dragon cargo capsule departed the International Space Station Saturday morning and was expected to splashdown off the Florida Coast Saturday evening.
Dragon undocked at 11:05 a.m. from the forward port of the station’s Harmony module as the ISS was flying approximately 260 miles over the Indian Ocean.
Dragon was launched on March 14 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy. The supply mission arrived at the space station March 16, delivering more than 6,000 pounds of research investigations, crew supplies, and station hardware.
