Unmanned cargo ship Dragon returned to Earth safely

On March 19, SpaceX's Dragon's unmanned spacecraft returned to Earth safely after nearly a month of being on orbit, ending its mission of supplying cargo to astronauts working on International Space Station (ISS).

In a statement, SpaceX said the ISS astronauts used robotic arms to drop Dragon ships out of the station at 9 am March 19 (GMT, 16 pm the same day as Vietnam). .

After about 6 hours, this cargo ship landed in the Pacific Ocean, near the coast of Mexico. Before Dragon left the ISS, astronauts loaded up old scientific equipment, garbage and about 1.8 tons of specimens from experiments conducted in a zero gravity environment.

This cargo ship carries over 2 tons of cargo for astronauts working on ISS.

Earlier, on February 19, the Dragon ship was taken up by Falcon 9 boosters from Cape Canaveral Air Base, Florida (USA). This cargo ship carries over 2 tons of cargo including food, clothes and scientific experiment equipment for the six astronauts working on ISS.

The latest launch is SpaceX's tenth resupply for ISS. Dragon is a type of spacecraft that can be reused many times. SpaceX has contracted with NASA to use self-propelled Dragon patterns to deliver goods to ISS. The company is also working on a new version of Dragon with the goal of bringing people to space in 2018.

Founded in 2002, SpaceX is under the management of technology billionaire Elon Musk. Currently this private corporation is one of the leading companies in space transport and a partner of NASA.

SpaceX has long been planning to expand into rocket technology by developing rockets that can be reused after every spacecraft launch. This ambition will help the private space corporation save millions of dollars for each launch.
