Space Exploration Technologies Corp.’s spacecraft docked with the International Space Station a day late after recovering from engine malfunctions, according to the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The unmanned craft operated by the Hawthorne, California-based company known as SpaceX was in place at 8:56 a.m. today, NASA said in a statement, and it will stay for 22 days before returning for a Pacific Ocean splashdown. This is the company’s second of at least a dozen planned supply missions to the station, a $1.6 billion contract.
