SpaceX launches cargo mission to ISS

SpaceX launched a cargo mission to the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday. A robotic SpaceX Dragon cargo capsule lifted off atop a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The cargo ship launched with around 5,800 pounds of supplies and payloads, including a NASA climate instrument to be mounted outside the space station.

This flight, named CRS-25, was scheduled for launch in early June, but officials grounded the Dragon spacecraft after finding a leak in the ship's propulsion system.

The mission is the 25th flight to the space station under SpaceX's Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA.
