SpaceX Launch Live Stream: Falcon 9 To Propel 10th Dragon Cargo Resupply Mission To ISS For NASA

SpaceX began testing its Falcon 9 rocket a few days ago, ahead of the Saturday morning launch that will send an unmanned Dragon cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS) on a resupply mission. And despite minor glitches that have occurred since the first static test-fire Sunday, the commercial launch for NASA is scheduled to go ahead at its planned time of 10:01 a.m. EST from the historic launch complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Saturday's mission will be SpaceX's tenth cargo mission to the ISS for NASA, and both the Elon Musk company and the space agency seem excited about. The small problems that cropped up with the Falcon 9 -- a small leak in the upper stage of the rocket -- seem to be all fixed, as Musk pointed out. The Dragon cargo spacecraft will carry about 5,500 pounds of supplies, equipment and scientific experiments to the ISS, which it will take two days to reach.
