SpaceX to Try Rocket Landing During Dragon Cargo Launch Friday

SpaceX will try yet again to land its Falcon 9 rocket on a robotic ship in the Atlantic Ocean Friday (April 8). The landing attempt will come during the launch of SpaceX's robotic Dragon cargo capsule to the International Space Station (ISS) for NASA, which is scheduled to take place at 4:43 p.m. EDT (2043 GMT) from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. SpaceX has tried four such "drone ship" landings before — in January and April of 2015, and January and March of this year.
