HAWTHORNE (CNS) - Hawthorne-based SpaceX successfully launched another group of astronauts into orbit early this morning for an eventual rendezvous with the International Space Station becoming the first launch involving a previously used spacecraft and rocket.
The launch of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft Endeavour had been scheduled for about 3:15 a.m. California time Thursday from Cape Canaveral in Florida. But bad weather in the launch zone pushed the mission until 2:49 a.m. California time Friday.
“3.. 2.. 1.. and liftoff! Endeavour launches once again, NASA tweeted just after 2:49 a.m. PT, as the rescheduled launch came off on time and without any problems.
