Video: Dragon arrives at space station

A commercial Cygnus freighter made a science-enabling delivery to the International Space Station today, bringing about 7,500 pounds of cargo to the outpost under NASA’s privatized logistics shipment program.

Concerns about the coronavirus pandemic have prompted officials to postpone the planned March 30 launch of Argentina’s SAOCOM 1B radar observation satellite from Cape Canaveral aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, officials said Tuesday.

SpaceX hopes to launch Falcon 9 rockets from its two launch pads in Florida and its one in California on Saturday night. Liftoff of the Eutelsat 36D satellite from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center happened at 5:52 p.m. EDT (2152 UTC), the opening of a nearly four-hour window.
