MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 26th February, 2019) US commercial cargo spacecraft Dragon is set to be launched to the International Space Station (ISS) on April 25, two weeks behind schedule, a source in the Russian aerospace industry told Sputnik.
Another source in the industry previously told Sputnik that the launch was set for April 12.
"According to the updated plan, the launch of the Dragon spacecraft to the ISS is scheduled for April 25," the source said.
The reusable spacecraft, built by US private company SpaceX, delivers cargo and supplies to the space station under a Commercial Resupply Service contract, awarded by NASA, while also bringing back materials of scientific experiments.
A total of 17 Dragon spacecraft were launched to the space station between 2012 and 2018. One of the spacecraft, though, failed to reach the ISS due the malfunction of the Falcon carrier rocket.
