SpaceX Capsule Docks at International Space Station

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) -- The SpaceX's Dragon 9 capsule has successfully docked at the International Space Station.

Yesterday one of the nine engines that helped launch one of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Monday night exploded.

The remaining eight engines however, helped carry the pay load into orbit.

A satellite, known as Orbcomm, was also deployed into orbit during the trip. Orbcomm was put into orbit at a lower altitude to ensure the safety of the International Space Station.

SpaceX has a facility in McGregor where they test and build their rockets.
