Spacecraft, the first private flight about to make history

 SpaceX company in California is preparing to launch a spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS) and this will be the first resupply mission by a private company made.
 In this historic mission, Dragon spacecraft will carry a half ton of supplies to the ISS.
This is the first time a private company to provide such services. This mission is usually caused by vessels belonging to the government agency made the universe, such as aerospace agency U.S. (NASA) and European Space Agency (ESA).

Dragon spacecraft will be unmanned Falcon X rocket launched from Cape Canaveral spaceport in Florida. Expected, the Dragon will be launched in the U.S. 4h55 hours on 19/5.
"There is no doubt that this is a historical mission," Gwynne Shotwell of SpaceX president said."So far only four countries, or groups of countries, bringing the spacecraft to the ISS, including Europe, Russia, USA and Japan. So, we're actually standing in front of a chance to be able to do this, "Shotwell said.Though only considered a mission rehearsal, but significant because it marks an important change in how the U.S. government wants to undertake a space flight.
 "Liberation" for NASA and is open to private
Both SpaceX and other private companies, Orbital Sciences Corp., has received contracts worth billions of dollars to transport food and equipment on the ISS evaluation. Orbital hopes to make its first flight to the ISS by Antares rocket and Cygnus ships later this year.
New direction in order to "liberate" for NASA for the agency can focus more effort and budget for the external mission beyond Earth, to asteroids and Mars.
Flight time of the Falcon rocket is expected to last less than 10 minutes and the ship Dragon was separated in a position 300km from Earth.
Conical spacecraft will then open up the solar panels and checking the navigation system and navigation before continuing their journey to the ISS.
If all goes well in two days, Dragon connection is expected to merge with the International Space Station on Tuesday.Unlike the transport ships from Europe and Russia often visited the ports of reassembling the ISS, Dragon will move to a position about 10 meters below the ISS, where it is exposed to a robot arm by the astronauts on ISS controls.

Dragon Arms takes to connect Harmony module on the ISS. The astronauts then will start shipping supplies from the spacecraft to the ISS on Wednesday.
This mission lies in the framework of universal service commercial transportation (COTS) to help pass a NASA mission and activities of traditional authorities to the private sector.
NASA is providing funds of up to $ 800 million to SpaceX and Orbital to help these companies develop rockets and spacecraft systems. When they reach the target represents the COTS out, contracts for ISS resupply will fully boot.
For SpaceX, a contract worth $ 1.6 billion, with the request made at least 12 mission to the ISS Dragon.But the company also has ambitions to take astronauts to the ISS and back to earth.
 Dragon has been practicing for return from orbit after a short flight in 2010.
To do so, SpaceX spacecraft initially designed to carry people. According to a NASA program, the company is developing safety systems and sustain life on board to ensure that the Dragon manned flight possible.
Since NASA's shuttle "retired last year," America does not have the means to put astronauts into space and have to rely on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to do this with over 60 million dollars per trip to the ISS.
Said SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will be ready to put astronauts on the ISS in 2015 with $ 20 million each turn.
