San Francisco Chronicle : SpaceX plans to launch an official resupply mission to the International Space Station from Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 10:10am EST today. This will be SpaceX’s third resupply launch, but only the second covered under the company’s contract with NASA. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will be carrying the unmanned Dragon capsule with more than one ton of supplies and new experiments. The capsule will return with samples and completed research projects. On its previous launches, the company delivered various supplies and food to the astronauts on the station. If the weather remains clear, you can watch the launch on NASA TV .
