SpaceX CRS-28 launch and Falcon 9 first stage landing

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the CRS-28 Dragon spacecraft from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, on 5 June 2023 at 15:47 UTC (11:47 EDT). The CRS-28 Dragon cargo spacecraft is scheduled to autonomously dock to the International Space Station on 6 June 2023, at approximately 09:50 UTC (05:50 EDT). Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage landed on the “A Shortfall of Gravitas” droneship, stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. Falcon 9’s first stage (B1077) previously supported four missions: Crew-5, GPS III SV06, Inmarsat-6 F2 and one Starlink mission. CRS-28 is the fourth flight for this Dragon spacecraft, which previously flew CRS-21, CRS-23 and CRS-25 to the space station. Credit: NASA/SpaceX CRS-28 launch
