SpaceX is targeting launch of the Commercial Resupply Services 13 (CRS-13) mission from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force station in Florida no earlier than Friday, Dec. 15th at 7:36 a.m. PST, or 15:36 UTC.
This mission marks the first time SpaceX is flying both a flight-proven Falcon 9 and a flight-proven Dragon spacecraft. Falcon 9’s first stage previously supported the CRS-11 mission in June 2017 and the Dragon spacecraft previously supported the CRS-6 mission in April 2015.
Dragon will deliver about 4,800 pounds of cargo and material to support science investigations aboard the space station. After about one month attached to the space station, Dragon will return with results of earlier experiments, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California.
*This will be a "double reuse" mission. F9 Core stage previously flew in the CRS-11 mission while Dragon previously flew in the CRS-6 mission. F9 core stage will attempt an LZ-1 landing.
