Mission CRS-4 accomplished: the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft has come back to Earth
A few hours ago the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft ended its CRS-4 (Cargo Resupply Service 4) mission for NASA splashing down without problems in the Pacific Ocean about 500 km (about 300 miles) off the coast of California. The Dragon left the International Space Station yesterday morning, American time.
Shortly after splashing down, the Dragon was recovered from the SpaceX boats that will transport it to the coast. The cargo brought back to Earth will be delivered to NASA in the coming hours. The Dragon spacecraft had reached the International Space Station on September 23, 2014.
