SpaceX successfully launches 3 tons of supplies to International Space Station.

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying a Dragon cargo ship with 6,300 pounds of research gear, crew supplies, spare parts, and other hardware to the International Space Station. The cargo includes fresh fruit and refrigerated cheeses requested by the crew. The primary goal of the mission is to enable continued research aboard the outpost. The Dragon is expected to dock with the space station early Thursday. SpaceX plans to launch as many as 100 Falcon-family rockets this year.
