In this 15-second long-exposure photograph, the International Space Station appears as a streak of light during the launch of NASA’s SpaceX CRS-35 mission, as the Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage begins its return to Landing Zone 40 for landing and the rocket’s second stage and Dragon spacecraft continue toward orbit, Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, as seen from Cocoa Beach, Florida. The mission lifted off at 6:33 a.m. EDT from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, carrying scientific experiments, supplies, and equipment to the orbital outpost on SpaceX’s 35th commercial resupply mission for NASA. The rocket’s exhaust plumes, illuminated by sunlight against the predawn sky, were visible across the eastern United States. John Copyright: xNASAxviaxBestimagexNASAxviaxBestimagex
