SpaceX is targeted to launch to the International Space Station next Monday at 4:58pm ET / 1:58pm PT. We’ll be webcasting the launch LIVE, starting at 4:20pm ET at www.spacex.com/webcast.
This represents the first time that a Falcon 9 will fly landing legs. Off-course they wont be used on this flight but they will be performing some sort of controlled re-entry of the first stage to minimize damage. These are the first crucial steps for +SpaceX in creating a fully reusable launch vehicle.
