SpaceX Sets April ISS Launch Date

Hawthorne-based SpaceX has set a new launch data for its mission to the International Space Station, saying this morning that it will launch on April 30th from Cape Canaveral. The firm's long awaited launch had been delayed in February, as the firm said it needed time to conduct additional testing. The docking with the ISS will be the first for a commercially developed launch vehicle, and will deliver supplies to the ISS.
