During a ceremony inside a Texas warehouse on Wednesday, SpaceX turned over to NASA more than a half-ton of cargo returned from the International Space Station during last month's commercial resupply mission.
The handover was the flight's final objective, and it occurred 13 days after the privately-owned Dragon spacecraft splashed down in the Pacific Ocean at the end of a nine-day mission.
The Dragon capsule spent six days attached to the International Space Station, and the lab's astronauts unloaded more than 1,000 pounds of supplies from the spacecraft. The space station crew installed nearly 1,400 pounds of equipment back inside Dragon's pressurized cabin for return to Earth.
