In a recent report, it has been confirmed that the SpaceX Dragon Capsule has finally made its way in Rialto on Tuesday. The capsule was confirmed to be a part of a trip to the International Space Station. There are chances that the California-based SpaceX would send another cargo ship in September.
It was further told that NASA has lot of expectations from companies like SpaceX so that groceries and other astronauts can be sent to the orbit. It was told that it was on early Tuesday that the capsule stopped in Rialto on its way from the Port of Los Angeles. Later, it was seen on the San Bernardino (10) Freeway while making its way to the company's rocket laboratory in McGregor, Texas.
It was told that it is not the first time that SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket was sent for the purpose. It was in the year 20110 that the company made its presence felt and from that time, it has made such attempts three times, including the recent one.
With this attempt, the company is very much eligible for entering in military business. ?"The new entrant criteria did say three launches are required (for Falcon 9) before certification can happen for national security payloads”, said SpaceX Communications Director Kirstin Brost Grantham.
