(Belga) Six weeks following leaving for the international space station ISS, a Dragon capsule is back on Earth. The cargo capsule, unmanned and carrying two tons of materials for scientific experiments, landed at sea off Florida on Wednesday, said the US space agency NASA and the private company SpaceX.
The capsule had separated from the ISS on Monday, to which it had been sent at the end of November, with on board solar panels for power supply, a special variety of tomatoes for healthier food for astronauts and a test blood to facilitate medical diagnoses in humans in space. It was the 26th resupply mission carried out by Elon Musk’s SpaceX company, in cooperation with NASA. (Belga)
