SpaceX is set to send their unmanned Dragon capsule to the
International Space Station on March 1, where it will launch
from Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Dragon will
launch at 10:10am EST (1510 GMT) on March 1, docking with the
ISS a day later. SpaceX's Dragon will be toting 1200 pounds of
supplies and scientific experiments to the ISS, and will return
to Earth just over three weeks later on March 25, splashing down
in the Pacific Ocean, just off the coast of Baja California,
bringing with it 2300 pounds of experimental samples and
equipment. This will be SpaceX's second contracted cargo mission
to the ISS for NASA, and overall, their third visit. SpaceX has
a $1.6 billion deal with NASA to make 12 similar flights with
their Dragon and Falcon 9 rockets. Further Reading: Read and
