A SpaceX ship launched from Cape Canaveral with supplies for the International Space Station, including a zero-gravity coffeemaker. Yesterday’s launch had to be rescheduled due to storm cloud activity.
The unmanned Dragon ship is loaded with 4,300 pounds of supplies and scientific materials for the crew of six at the orbital facility. Among them is the ‘ISSpresso’ coffee machine, developed by Italian engineers for ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti. The ship is scheduled to return in five weeks, with about 3,000 pounds of cargo including science experiments, hardware, and crew supplies.
