SpaceX launched the Dragon spacecraft on their 19th operational cargo delivery mission to the International Space Station. The flight was conducted under the Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA. Dragon was filled with approximately 5,700 pounds of supplies and payloads, including critical materials to directly support more than 250 science and research investigations that occur onboard the orbiting laboratory.
Limiting rule: No flight through cumulus cloud with top at or above the freezing level.
5000% cloud cover in layer above freezing (14486 ft) — approximated
Exploded upon ocean impact a safe distance from OCISLY
This was the first dragon vehicle to be used for more than one mission. This capsule flew on CRS-4 which carried SpaceX's first living payload in the form of 20 mice. It also flew on CRS-11.
