SpaceX CRS-3 (Falcon 9) 18 April 2014 |
Space Launch Complex 40 Cape Canaveral Air Force Station |
| Terribly overcast conditions for photography prevailed during the launch of SpaceX's third commercial resupply flight to the International Space Station lifting off at 3:25 p.m. on 18 April 2014 from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The images below show the security helicopter making a pass, then a series of images of the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket carrying a Dragon spacecraft loaded with nearly 5,000 pounds of supplies, experiments, and other hardware bound for the space station. | |
