SpaceX on December 6 successfully launched its Dragon-2 capsule on a resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS). It will be the second SpaceX capsule in orbit at the same time. Also, it can stay at the space station for 75 days, according to SpaceX. Dragon-2 will stay at the space station for about a month when it would undock with previous equipment and fall into the Atlantic Ocean. NASA had signed a new cargo delivery contract with SpaceX for six upgraded Cargo Dragon space station flights in 2016, which has now been extended to cover nine Dragon missions.
