attach the Dragon capsule to a Falcon 9 rocket at the SpaceX facility
at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., during preparations for the
CRS-1 mission.
SpaceX is set to launch the first of a dozen
operational missions for NASA to deliver more than 1,000 pounds of
supplies to the International Space Station on Oct. 7. Launch time is
8:35 p.m. EDT from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force
Station in Florida, just a few miles south of the space shuttle launch
pads. The spacecraft will be joined to the station three days later.
