SpaceX CRS-30 launch and Falcon 9 first stage landing

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the CRS-30 Dragon spacecraft from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, on 21 March 2024 at 20:55 UTC (16:55 EDT). The CRS-30 Dragon cargo spacecraft is scheduled to autonomously dock to the International Space Station on 23 March 2024, at approximately 11:30 UTC (07:30 EDT). Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage (B1080) landed on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, having previously supported five missions: Ax-2, ESA Euclid, Ax-3 and two Starlink missions. CRS-30 is the fourth flight for this Dragon spacecraft, which previously flew CRS-22, CRS-24, and CRS-27 to the space station. Credit: NASA/SpaceX CRS-30 launch
