SpaceX’s 25th cargo replenish mission to the International Space Station raised off at 8:44 p.m. A Falcon 9 rocket which launched the Dragon Cargo Capsule in the direction of the station with approximately three tons of cargo.
Takeoff from pad 39A at Kennedy which at precisely 8:44:22 p.m. EDT (0044:22 GMT), rarely the moment Earth’s spining brings the launch site in the orbital plane of the space station.

Falocn 9 headed downrange in Northeast
After takeoff, the Falcon 9 headed towards downrange northeast from the Kennedy, which was powered by nine Merlin engines which was generating approx 1.7 million pounds of the thrust.
The rocket which shut down its early first stage booster about two-and-a-half minutes into the mission, which was allowing the booster to acceptable to landing on a drone ship which was about 186 miles (300 kilometers) downrange in the Atlantic Ocean about seven-and-a-half minutes after the takeoff.
The booster, which have the tail number B1067, which have done its fifth flight on the CRS-25 mission. Its earlier launched the CRS-22 cargo mission in the last June, which launch two NASA crew missions to the space station, and moved Turkey’s Turksat 5B communications satellite into the space.
My crew and I captured a #Dragon this weekend—@SpaceX-19, our fifth visiting cargo vehicle during my time on board. This recent arrival brought a whole new load of science, and hopefully some Christmas surprises! pic.twitter.com/qKhNrtg9SH

Glimpse on Dragon Capsule
The Dragon spacecraft moved from the Falcon 9’s upper stage which was about 12 minutes after takeoff to start the day-anda-half journey to the International Space Station. The Dragon cargo capsule planned as on the CRS-25 mission launched on their third flight to the station.
Stationed in the interior of a firing room at a launch which control center at Kennedy, SpaceX’s launched team start loading superchilled, restricted kerosene and the liquid oxygen propellants which was into the 215foot-tall (65-meter) Falcon 9 vehicle at Tminus for 35 minutes.
Helium unpressuried also flowed into the rocket in the last half-hour of the countdown. In the last seven minutes early takeoff, the Falcon 9’s Merlin important engines were heatly conditioned for flight through a preparation known as “chill down.” The Falcon 9’s guidance and which the range security systems were also configured for the launch site.
SpaceX have flourishingly send a Cargo Dragon spacecraft on their way to the International Space Station (ISS) as piece during the company’s 30th launched in this year.
Dragon began a roughly journey of 38 hour
The booster was completed a soft landing in aboard drone ship during A Shortfall Of Gravitas (ASOG) about the total nine
minutes after the takeoff, which was around the exact time as Falcon 9’s second or upper stage which was reached orbit and shut it down its lone Merlin Vacuum engine. A few minutes later that, Dragon removes from rocket, which came alive, and begin a roughly approx 38-hour travel journey to the ISS.
The mission which is known as CRS-25, takeoff in the tonight exact at 8:44 p.m. EDT (0044 GMT on July 15) from KSC’s Launch Complex 39A. The two multiple stages of the Falcon 9 removed in 2.5 minutes into the flight.
As the rocket’s is on their second stage spelled Dragon into their orbit, the main booster which began its to Earth, security landing on SpaceX’s A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship in the Atlantic Ocean about 7.5 minutes after the launch.
The Dragon which will spend the next day and during a half coughing up to the ISS. This cargo capsule is planned to dock with the orbiting lab revolve around 11:20 a.m. EDT (1520 GMT) on Saturday morning (July 16).
