Space Cargo Droid Departs

The SpaceX Dragon cargo craft is pictured moments after undocking from the Harmony module’s space-facing port completing a 43-day resupply mission attached to the International Space Station.

Dragon would splash down in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Tampa, Florida, two days later returning about 4,400 pounds station hardware and scientific cargo for retrieval and analysis on Earth.
