SpaceX launches resupply mission to space station from Florida coast

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – SpaceX early Sunday successfully launched another resupply mission to the International Space Station.

CRS-33 took off before 3 a.m. Sunday from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

CRS-33 is the third flight for the Dragon spacecraft supporting this mission, which previously flew CRS-26 and CRS-29 to and from the space station. After an approximate 28-hour flight, Dragon will autonomously dock with the orbiting laboratory on Monday, August 25 at approximately 7:30 a.m. ET.

This will be the seventh flight of the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched O3b mPOWER-E, Crew-10, Bandwagon-3, O3b mPOWER-D, and two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
