Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) successfully launched its fourth Cargo Resupply Services (CRS-4) mission for NASA early Sunday from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., the company said on Twitter.
Sunday’s launch came one day after its initial launch goal as the company scrubbed Saturday’s attempt due to weather. Launch took place on a Falcon 9 launch vehicle.
SpaceX said it has eight launches remaining on its 2014 manifest, including two more CRS missions, which carry cargo and scientific material to the International Space Station (ISS).
SpaceX and Boeing [BA] were selected last week by NASA to proceed in the civil space agency’s program to taxi astronauts to ISS and back, known as Commercial Crew (CCP) (Defense Daily, Sept. 16).
A spokeswoman from Patrick AFB, Fla., home of Cape Canaveral, said there are no dates currently set for the next launch.
