The first private spacecraft to travel to the ISS, Dragon, was to be launched on April 30 from Cape Cañaberal of Florida. But there are problems and the launch has been delayed several times. The last release date was that of the first days of May, but those of SpaceX have again postponed and have not given new release dates in Dragon. The reason is that they want to perform additional tests of the software installed on the packaging. They want to have all the details together, as this spacecraft is the first substitute for NASA's ferries.
