NEW YORK, January 25. /tass/. The Dragon cargo ship of the American company SpaceX landed on water in the Atlantic Ocean near the coast of Florida. This was reported on Monday on the SpaceX Twitter page.

The ship landed at 16:05 on the time of the East Coast of the USA (on Tuesday 00:05 Moscow time). He delivered to Earth more than 2.2 tons of various cargoes, including the results of scientific experiments. Dragon undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday in automatic mode. Prior to that, the ship's undocking, originally scheduled for Friday, was postponed twice due to adverse weather conditions in the area of flooding.

Dragon was launched on December 21 from the Cape Canaveral Cosmodrome (Florida) using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle as part of SpaceX's 24th commercial resupply mission to the ISS. The ship docked with the ISS on December 22. The ship delivered approximately 3 tons of various cargoes to the orbital station - food, materials for scientific experiments, equipment.

Currently, seven crew members are on board the station: Roscosmos cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Peter Dubrov, NASA astronauts Mark Vande Hai, Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn and Kayla Barron, as well as European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer.
