KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL - The 100th blastoff from NASA's historic pad 39A features a SpaceX Dragon resupply mission carrying three tons of science and crew supplies to the International Space Station as well as another unfathomable ground landing of the first stage.

Liftoff of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the unmanned Dragon cargo freighter from seaside pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida is slated for 5:55 p.m. EDT Thursday, June 1.

The next mission to the Earth-orbiting laboratory will be the eleventh commercial resupply services flight for SpaceX.
