A Post Launch News Conference following the succesful launch of SpaceX's sixth cargo mission to the International Space Station under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services contract was held on Tuesday, April 14, from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The company's Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 4:10:40 p.m  carrying its Dragon cargo spacecraft to the station and holds more than 4,300 pounds of supplies and payloads, including critical materials to directly support about 40 of the more than 250 science and research investigations that will occur during the space station’s Expeditions 43 and 44.  After about five weeks at the space station, Dragon will return to Earth filled with more than 3,000 pounds of cargo including crew supplies, hardware and computer resources, science experiments, and space station hardware.
