Please use this topic to discuss the ninth of SpaceX's contracted Dragon cargo flights to the International Space Station under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) Program.

One item being delivered to the station is the International Docking Adapter. This will allow new spacecraft in development with NASA Commercial Crew Program to dock automatically with the International Space Station.

Spacewalkers will install the docking ring ahead of the first flight tests of the new generation of human-rated spacecraft beginning next year.

From Elon Musk on Twitter:
Out on LZ-1. We just completed the post-landing inspection and all systems look good. Ready to fly again.

Here is a time exposure from a fellow I met during the launches I went to last month. His name is Dennis Huff and he attends most of the launches as he is down there in Florida.

Here is his photo of last night's launch. Give it a few days and it will be on his site, which is well worth the visit.
