SpaceX launches cargo to ISS, rocket on recycle test
Online Edition
SPACEX on Saturday blasted off its Falcon 9 rocket on an historic recycling mission, after propelling the Dragon cargo ship toward the International Space Station.
The rocket launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida at 4:47am (0947 GMT) and was to be followed minutes later by an attempt to guide the rocket's first stage down to a controlled landing on a platform in the Atlantic Ocean.
SpaceX has given the test landing a 50-50 chance of success, and it is uncertain when the outcome will be made public.
After two delays in recent weeks due to rocket problems, Saturday's launch went smoothly.
The cargo ship is carrying more than 5,000 pounds of supplies to the six-member crew of astronauts living in orbit.
