Today's @SpaceX CRS-11 launch has been SCRUBBED due to lightning around the Kennedy Space Center.

If all goes to plan, the Dragon spacecraft is expected to reach the ISS on Sunday morning.

#SpaceX #CRS11

[CosmosRevealed @CosmosRevealed]

Roughly 8 minutes into flight the Falcon 9 first stage will attempt to land back at Cape Canaveral. So far no land landing has failed.

[CosmosRevealed @CosmosRevealed]

The Dragon spacecraft being launched today has actually flown before, used first for the CRS-4 mission in 2014. This is a first for SpaceX!

[CosmosRevealed @CosmosRevealed]

A notable payload aboard the Dragon spacecraft today is NICER, the world's first mission devoted to studying neutron stars.

#SpaceX #CRS11

[CosmosRevealed @CosmosRevealed]

The Dragon spacecraft is carrying around 6000 pounds of pressurised and unpressurised cargo to the ISS.

[CosmosRevealed @CosmosRevealed]

We are just THREE hours away from launch of the @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, sending the Dragon spacecraft on its way to the ISS!

@CrampedEyes @SpaceX @NASAKennedy @elonmusk Think you may be misremembering. Musk has said that they may attempt to return 2nd stage on Falcon Heavy demo flight https://t.co/Sxw7T0mori

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Considering trying to bring upper stage back on Falcon Heavy demo flight for full reusability. Odds of success low, but maybe worth a shot.
