“Space Jellyfish”: SpaceX Falcon 9 NASA Cargo Launch | International Space Station
[amateur video] Many of you are talking about the “space jellyfish” following this morning’s launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral in Florida. A jellyfish happens near sunrise or sunset when the exhaust plume from the rocket becomes brightly illuminated, creating a glowing shape resembling a jellyfish.
At 6:33 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on October 13, 2026, more than 6,300 pounds of scientific investigations and cargo launched to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft as part of the company’s 35th commercial resupply services (CRS) mission for NASA.
About nine minutes after launch, Dragon separated from the rocket’s second stage, opened its nosecone, and began a carefully choreographed series of thruster firings to reach the space station.
Dragon is scheduled to arrive at the orbiting outpost at approximately 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 15.
