Watch a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft dock to the International Space Station after a successful liftoff on April 21 at 4:15 a.m. EDT (0815 UTC). The spacecraft is carrying supplies – including food and essential equipment for the crew – as well as a variety of science experiments.
The Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to remain at the space station until May, when it will depart and return to Earth with research and cargo, splashing down off the coast of California.
