According to the NASA,
private space capsule "Dragon" now returns home.
Today is Tuesday, March
26 commercial space capsule "Dragon" (Dragon) is returned to the
International Space Station to Earth. It splashed down in the Pacific Ocean in
396 kilometers from the coast of California from 1210 kilograms of cargo on
board. Among the cost will be more unnecessary equipment to the ISS, space
debris, the results of various research, and more.
We remind that the
space cargo ship, built by a private company SpaceX, delivered this time the
ISS around 1000 kilograms of cargo (food, water, fuel, spare parts, etc.).
Initially, it was
planned that the space truck "Dragon" will return to Earth on March
25. But the adverse weather conditions in the area of California provoked the
forced transfer of the return date for 1 day. "Dragon" arrived at the
ISS on March 1 and stayed in the dock with the space station kompleskom three
weeks.
Unmanned space vehicle
from SpaceX conducts its flights for cargo delivery to the ISS under a contract
with NASA worth $ 1.6 billion. Under this contract, the space of
"Dragon" should make 12 flights to the ISS and back to Earth.
