SpaceX Launch Live

Já agora mais info sobre a missão:
SpaceX CRS-6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
( Falcon 9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )


"SpaceX CRS-6, also known as SpX-6, is a cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station, contracted to NASA, and is currently manifested for launch in 2015. It will be the eighth flight for SpaceX's uncrewed Dragon cargo spacecraft and the sixth SpaceX operational mission contracted to NASA under a Commercial Resupply Services contract."

Amanhã pelos visto a probabilidade é de cerca de 50% [;)]
 
Acho que o mais interessante desta missão é esta parte (retirada da wikipedia):

"After the separation of the second stage, SpaceX will conduct a flight test and attempt to return the nearly-empty first stage of the Falcon 9 through the atmosphere and land it on a 90-by-50-meter (300 ft × 160 ft) floating platform called the autonomous spaceport drone ship. This will be SpaceX second attempt to land the booster on a floating platform after an earlier test in January 2015 was not successful. The booster is fitted with a variety of technologies to facilitate the flight test, including grid fins and landing legs to facilitate the post-mission test. If successful, this will be the first time in history that a rocket booster was returned to a vertical landing.[SUP][9]"

Na última tentativa destruíram o foguetão:
