WASHINGTON – With the successful launch of the Dragon cargo ship, SpaceX engineers and NASA controllers are now focusing on the spacecraft’s readiness to approach and link up with the International Space Station.
If the mission goes as planned, the historic attempt to “berth” the first commercial spacecraft to the space station -- astronauts aboard the orbiting lab would grab the spacecraft and pull it into a docking port – is scheduled to occur on Friday (May 25), SpaceX said after a flawless launch of its Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral on Tuesday morning.
