SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket has gone vertical at NASA’s historic Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) for the first time.
The California-based company is getting ready for a planned Feb. 18 liftoff from LC-39A, which is part of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Falcon 9 will blast SpaceX’s robotic Dragon cargo capsule toward the International Space Station (ISS) for NASA, if all goes according to plan.
