Blastoff! SpaceX launches 30th cargo mission to space station, nails landing

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying an uncrewed Cargo Dragon spacecraft launched from Space Launch Complex-40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on March 21, 2024 at 4:55 p.m. EDT (2055 GMT). The mission, known as CRS-30, will be the first cargo launch from SLC-40 since March 2020. Since then, the pad has been outfitted with a new launch tower, which allows for more efficient cargo loading and upgrades the facility to support crewed launches as well. Credit: NASA
