SpaceX Dragon Headed Back To Earth Today

Another, SpaceX Dragon capsule is headed back to earth, and is expected to splash down in the Atlantic at 10PM Eastern time, according to NASA, which is broadcasting the departure of the capsule from the International Space Station (ISS) this morning. The Dragon is loaded with 5,200 pounds of research and other cargo. The Dragon cargo craft is actually one of two, SpaceX Dragon spacecraft currently at the International Space Station--there's also a Crew Dragon attached to the ISS at the moment. The CRS-21 Cargo Dragon is expected to splash down off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida. SpaceX is based in the Los Angeles area, in Hawthorne.
