SpaceX conducted its first launch from Kennedy Space Center's historic Launch Complex 39A with the flight of the CRS-10 mission on Sunday, February 19, 2017. The payload for this mission was SpaceX's own Dragon spacecraft with some 5,000 lbs (2,268 kg) worth of experiments crew supplies and cargo bound for the International Space Station. Liftoff took place at 9:38 a.m. EST (14:38 GMT) under cloudy and rainy skies. The launch marked the first time that Launch Complex 39A has been used since the final shuttle mission, STS-135 on Atlantis, lifted off on July 8, 2011.
