## Caption

The SpaceX Dragon resupply ship is departing the space station at 11:05 a.m. EDT on Saturday when it undocks from the Harmony module's forward port. Dragon will return to Earth several hours later when it parachutes to a splash down off the coast of Florida loaded with 4,300 pounds of science experiments and station hardware for investigation and analysis.

Pictured are previous Dragon cargo vehicles departing the orbital outpost.
