SpaceX Dragon CRS-28 cargo capsule docks with space station to deliver vital supplies

Dragon CSR-28 docks approaching the International Space Station with Earth behind

A SpaceX Dragon cargo capsule arrived at the International Space Station early Tuesday morning (June 6) with 7,000 pounds (3,175 kilograms) of supplies and scientific experiments on board.

The robotic Dragon launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on Monday (June 5) from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida and reached the orbital outpost at 5:50 a.m. EDT (0950 GMT) after an 18-hour orbital chase. The capsule will remain docked to the space-facing port of the orbiting lab's Harmony module for about three weeks.
