Just Read the Instructions is now on location in the Atlantic in advance of the 13 April 2015 CRS-6 launch, targeted for 4:33pm ET. Since SpaceX's last landing attempt, the drone ship has been upgraded to tolerate more powerful ocean swells, however weather at the landing site is looking significantly better this time.
After Dragon and Falcon 9's second stage are on their way to orbit, the first stage will execute a controlled reentry through Earth's atmosphere, targeting touchdown on an autonomous spaceport drone ship approximately nine minutes after launch.
