SpaceX successfully launched its 31st commercial resupply mission (CRS-31) to the International Space Station (ISS) for NASA. The Dragon spacecraft, carrying 2.7 tons of supplies including food and scientific equipment, lifted off from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center at 21:30 local time. Following launch, the Falcon 9’s reusable first stage was scheduled to return to Cape Canaveral’s Landing Zone 1. Dragon is set to autonomously dock with the ISS after a 13-hour journey, remaining there until December to support ISS crew needs.
