The company, known as SpaceX and controlled by billionaire Elon Musk, launched its Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Dragon capsule at 8:35 p.m. local time yesterday from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The supply ship is carrying about 1,000 pounds of cargo, including materials for scientific experiments aboard the station.
