The SpaceX capsule, the only today able to return to Earth with cargo, delivered about 450 pounds of equipment on the Space Station and returned to Earth with 758 pounds, including computer elements and experiences material.
The NASA center in Houston, Texas, controlled maneuvers Return of Dragon, a ship six tons, but was SpaceX, based in Hawthorne, California, which made the operation of re-entry, with the aid of the space agency American and other organizations.
