The SpaceX launch team is filling the propellant tanks of the Falcon 9 with refined kerosene called RP-1 and liquid oxygen. The Falcon 9's Merlin 1D engines mix the propellants together at launch to generate about 1.3 million pounds of thrust. The RP-1 loading began at 6:33 a.m. EDT and the liquid oxygen loading started at 6:58 a.m. Everything is on track for a liftoff on time at 10:21 a.m.
