SpaceX launched its fourth Dragon capsule Friday on the second NASA-contracted mission to deliver cargo to the International Space Station. The launch, by one of the company’s Falcon 9 boosters, proceeded to plan but soon after entering orbit, the Dragon encountered a problem with a propellant valve, preventing the use of three out of its four maneuvering thruster pods. Whether the unmanned Dragon can reach the orbiting lab and complete NASA’s CRS-2 mission is still to be seen.
