CRS-35 cargo launch and Falcon 9 recovery

SpaceX launched NASA's CRS-35 Dragon cargo mission from Cape Canaveral with more than 6,300 pounds of supplies and hardware, then landed the Falcon 9 first stage at Landing Zone 40.

The CRS-35 mission lifted off from Space Launch Complex 40 at 6:33 a.m. Eastern time on October 13. NASA confirmed the successful launch and the cargo bound for the International Space Station, while SpaceX confirmed Dragon's separation and the first stage's return to Landing Zone 40. The later station docking remains scheduled for October 15 and is not treated here as completed.
