SpaceX Dragon cargo ship undocks from space station for trip back to Earth

A SpaceX Dragon cargo ship is headed back to Earth. 

The uncrewed Dragon CRS-24 resupply ship undocked from the International Space Station on Sunday (Dec. 23) after just over a month linked to the orbiting laboratory. The spacecraft, laden with more than 2 tons of gear, cast off from the station at 10:40 a.m. EST (1540 GMT) after a two-day delay due to landing site weather. The spacecraft is set to splash down off Florida’s western coast on Monday.
