'Dragon is in the water'

The Dragon space capsule splashed down in the Pacific 560 miles off Baja California at 8:42 a.m., two minutes ahead of schedule. Boats will find and secure the craft, then it will be lifted onto a barge. In the photo, about 1,000 SpaceX employees in Hawthorne watched outside the control room.

NASA update: Dragon has been located at 27 degrees north latitude by 120 degrees west longtitude. That's on target, they say. "Everything looking good."

NASA TV will broadcast a final mission status briefing at 11 a.m. Pacific time.
