Watch: SpaceX Launches First recycled cargo ship

< 1 Minute Read

SpaceX launched its first recycled cargo ship to International Space Station yet another milestone in its bid to drive down flight costs. The unmanned Falcon rocket blasted off carrying a Dragon capsule. The refurbished Dragon reaches the orbiting lab on June, 5. This Dragon capsule, meanwhile, came back for take two. It will follow a few modifications and much testing for second innings
The plan is to launch the booster again, instead of junking it in the ocean. Dragon capsule will be the first returning craft since NASA‘s now-retired shuttles. Another flight featuring a reused booster is coming up later this month.
