SpaceX Successfully Launches Dragon Into Orbit - UniverseToday

 

“Falcon flew perfectly!! Dragon in orbit, comm locked and solar arrays active!! Feels like a giant weight just came off my back icon_smile.gif ,” Tweeted Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO.

 

“The entire team at SpaceX and at NASA should be commended for their success on this third test flight of the Falcon 9 rocket,” said former astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria, who is now the President of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation. “The preparations and precautions taken by SpaceX and NASA in months past have contributed to their exemplary performance today. After seeing the smooth launch SpaceX just executed, it is easy to forget that this is indeed rocket science.”

 

Awesome!

 

Official launch time of 07:44:38 UTC/3:44:38 a.m.

Excellent! I was so hoping for a trouble free mission for these guys. I hope the rest of the mission is a 100% success, too! :yes:

Me too, Eric! It is especially nice to see private sector SpaceX working well with NASA in a common goal.
