the spacex dragon
2 spacecraft lifted off on the company's
3 9 rocket at 5:07 p.m. edt (2107 gmt) from the kennedy space center in florida.
about 10 minutes later, the rocket's first stage achieved a successful landing at spacex's landing zone 1, just south of the launch site at
4 canaveral air force station.
on this trip, the dragon will deliver almost 6,000 pounds (2,700 kilograms) of supplies, including solar panels, tools for earth-observation and equipment to study
5 stars.
among the cargo is a 3.5-kilogram device from the beijing institute of technology that sought to answer questions like "does the space radiation and microgravity cause mutations among antibody-encoding
6 and how does it happen?"
there is a u.s. law in place, known as the wolf
7, that bans cooperation between the u.s. space agency nasa and chinese government
8, but this deal is
9 commercial and therefore considered legal.
