The SpaceX Dragon cargo ship is departing from the International Space Station and returning to Earth.

The SpaceX Dragon cargo ship is leaving the International Space Station after a month-long stay at the orbital lab. The spacecraft returns to Earth today bearing over 1,600kg of cargo, including samples from ongoing space station research.

The Dragon arrived at the ISS and docked at the Harmony utility hub on April 10, delivering over 3,000kg of cargo to the astronauts.
