NASA and SpaceX observed a significant milestone as SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft successfully demonstrated its ability to reboost the International Space Station's orbit on Friday at 12:50 p.m. EST. Using its Draco thrusters, the spacecraft adjusted the station's altitude, raising it by 7/100 of a mile at apogee and 7/10 of a mile at perigee over a 12-minute and 30-second operation.
