On December 5, 2018, NASA launched a 6,000-pound care package to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. The spacecraft orbited Earth until it reached the station three days later. This image, taken by astronaut Alex Gerst, on December 8, 2018, shows the SpaceX vehicle over the Emi Koussi volcano in northern Chad (upper left of the photo). The volcano is the highest summit of the Sahara, standing at 3,414 meters (2 miles) above sea level. Its dark volcanic rocks stand out against the surrounding tan and light brown sandstone to the south and east.
