Startup rocket company Space Exploration Technologies (we all know them as SpaceX) is set to launch their Dragon capsule to the International Space Station early in the morning (3:44am EDT!) on Tuesday. SpaceX will be webcasting the launch on their website, SpaceX.com, starting at 3:00am Eastern Time. You can also follow along as SpaceX CEO Elon Musk posts live updates to Twitter from Mission Control!
This will be the second launch attempt after SpaceX had a last-minute abort just a few days earlier. They’ve identified the problem (faulty nitrogen valve), fixed it, and are ready to go again. To be clear: that is amazingly fast work in the space industry.
