Dragon Rescheduled

After a three week delay, the Falcon 9/Dragon stack is scheduled to launch on its first test flight to ISS on May 19.  Dtagon is set to be the first private spacecraft to visit ISS.

Dragon will carry supplies and equipment to ISS.  Instead of actually docking with the space station, which would add complexity to the mission, Dragon will maneuver close to ISS, and astronauts will grab it using the station's robotic arm.
