A parachute-assisted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean occurred that morning just west of Baja California. A recovery team then secured Dragon on a boat for the return trip to the Port of Los Angeles, wrapping up SpaceX\u2019s 19th resupply mission to the space station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filled with approximately 5,700 pounds of supplies and payloads, Dragon launched aboard a Falcon 9 rocket on December 5, 2019 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida and arrived at the space station on December 8. The Dragon spacecraft supporting the CRS-19 mission previously supported the CRS-4 mission in September 2014 and the CRS-11 mission in June 2017. Dragon is the only spacecraft currently flying that is capable of returning significant amounts of cargo to Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_0153-scaled.jpg?fit=640%2C640\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_0153-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_0153-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_0153-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_0153-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_0153-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_0153-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_0153-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Packed with about 3,800 pounds of cargo and science, SpaceX\u2019s Dragon spacecraft departed the International Space Station on <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4510,9316,5637,4552,1836,5992,2203,4957,5446,4882,868],"tags":[167,539,9873,9875,4964,1235,9298,9878,1293,9870,9872,3646,4889,9772,1741,1329,1001,199,9432,340,938,412,4302,1016,9871,5068,9436,752,7136,9876,2640,9385,1154,9827,9877,937,2812,155,9874,4470,3804,1691,1658,3605],"class_list":["post-7264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aerospace-news","category-air-force-news","category-business-news","category-cargo-news","category-defense-news","category-economic-news","category-finance-news","category-global-politics","category-military-news","category-space-news","category-transportation-news","tag-aerospace","tag-air","tag-assisted","tag-baja","tag-boat","tag-california","tag-capable","tag-cape-canaveral","tag-cargo","tag-crs-19","tag-departed","tag-dragon","tag-earth","tag-falcon-9","tag-florida","tag-flying","tag-force","tag-international","tag-launched","tag-los-angeles","tag-mission","tag-news","tag-ocean","tag-pacific","tag-packed","tag-parachute","tag-payloads","tag-port","tag-recovery","tag-resupply","tag-return","tag-returning","tag-rocket","tag-science","tag-secured","tag-space","tag-spacecraft","tag-spacex","tag-splashdown","tag-station","tag-team","tag-transport","tag-transportation","tag-west"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7264"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7264\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7266,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7264\/revisions\/7266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
