[b]Dragon departs space station[/b] SpaceX's CRS-21 Dragon cargo spacecraft, the first of its second generation capsules, undocked from the International Space Station on Tuesday (Jan. 12) at 9:05 a.m. EST (1405 GMT). The vehicle departed the station loaded with 4,400 pounds (1,995 kilograms) of research results and other equipment for the return to Earth. On Wednesday (Jan. 13), Dragon will initiate a deorbit burn to begin its re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere, setting up a splashdown around 8:27 p.m. EST (0127 GMT on Jan. 14) — the first return of a cargo spacecraft off the Florida coast, west of Tampa.
