SpaceX launches cargo mission to the International Space Station
Original: spacex launch
SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying NASA cargo on the 35th resupply mission to the International Space Station, delivering roughly 6,300 pounds of supplies along with new solar arrays. Observers along the US East Coast were told an early morning liftoff could create a visible 'space jellyfish' plume. The launch came alongside other SpaceX activity, including a Falcon 9 flight of 27 Starlink satellites from California and a planned attempt to launch 21 satellites for the Space Development Agency.
Why now: A high-profile SpaceX launch, potentially visible to the public, is drawing wide attention
