A cargo Dragon spacecraft is on its way to the International Space Station after a launch Thursday night. A Falcon 9 lifted off at 8:44 pm EDT (0044 GMT Friday) and placed the Dragon in orbit 12 minutes later. The spacecraft, on a mission designated CRS-25, docked with the ISS Saturday morning, delivering more than 2,660 kilograms of cargo. The mission was scheduled to launch last month but delayed after finding a hydrazine leak in the spacecraft's propulsion system that required replacement of a valve.
