Two for One! Space Station Gets Rocket-Launch Double Shot This Weekend


Two for One! Space Station Gets Rocket-Launch Double Shot This Weekend It's a doubleheader of cosmic proportions: This weekend, not one but two rockets are launching cargo missions to the International Space Station (ISS), and you can watch the action live online, thanks to NASA. First, here's what's flying and when: On Saturday, July 16, an uncrewed Russian Progress 64 cargo ship will launch at 5:41 p.m. EDT (2141 GMT) from Kazakhstan's Baikonur Cosmodrome to deliver 3 tons (2.7 metric tons) of supplies to the space station. Two days later (on Monday, July 19), the private company SpaceX will launch its own mission, with a Falcon 9 rocket and robotic Dragon capsule lifting off from Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. That mission will launch at 12:45 a.m. EDT (0445 GMT) on Monday to deliver even more supplies for the station's six-person crew. You can watch both rocket launches live online here, courtesy of NASA TV.    More
