SpaceX's Falcon 9 (B1061.4) and the 23rd Cargo Dragon vertical at LC-39A, ready to launch to the Int'l Space Station as earlier as 3:37am Saturday.
Rainy day at Kennedy Space Center today, it called for a black-and-white.
This launch is also utilizing a flight-proven booster: Falcon 9 B1061 -- which will be making its fourth flight to space and back tomorrow morning, pending allowable weather.
SpaceX now uses the same Access Arm to load both Crew and Cargo depending on the mission, as late as just a few hours before liftoff -- a benefit the previous version of Cargo Dragon did not enjoy.
