Coverage of Dragon's arrival at the ISS will begin at 9:15 a.m.

13).

Liftoff occurred at 6:35 a.m.

EDT (1035 GMT), and the Falcon 9's upper stage deployed the Dragon in low Earth orbit (LEO) a short 10 minutes later.

Thanks to the trajectory of the space station's orbit and the near-dawn hour of the launch, the Falcon 9's ascent to orbit was viewed by millions up and down the U.S.

East Coast, who witnessed a rare "space jellyfish" phenomenon from the rocket's exhaust plume.
