U.S. COMMERCIAL CARGO SHIP DEPARTS THE SPACE STATION The unpiloted SpaceX Dragon cargo ship departed the International Space Station on June 3, completing a month-long delivery of supplies and scientific experiments to the orbital laboratory. Ground controllers used the Canadarm2 robotic arm to release Dragon after it was detached from its berthing port on the Earth-facing side of the station’s Harmony module. Dragon was scheduled to be deorbited a few hours after its release, headed for a parachute-assisted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean southwest of Long Beach, California.
