After a one-day weather delay, the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and the Endeavor Crew Dragon module came out at 5:49 a.m. as planned.
“Endeavor has re-launched four astronauts from three countries to a single International Space Station,” said a voice in control of the NASA mission.
After a two-minute, 40-second burn, the first-phase rocket was released from the second stage, its engines turned on, and it slowly returned to Earth to land on Florida’s mobile coastal platform. Meanwhile, the Crew-2 astronauts continued for another six minutes propelled by a second-stage booster, which placed the Dragon Crew capsule in Earth orbit.
