The next step in the Dragon's mission will be the activation and priming of its Draco maneuvering thrusters. A door to the craft's guidance, navigation and control bay -- where its rendezvous sensors and grapple fixture are mounted -- is scheduled open a little more than 2 hours after launch.

With today's first stage landing, SpaceX has successfully recovered 38 Falcon boosters on the company's drone ships and at landing zones at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Vandenberg Air Force Base. Another Falcon rocket core from the Falcon Heavy's second launch last month landed on SpaceX's drone ship, but tipped before before it could be brought back to port.

Per helium ground leak last night...

Hans: "Didn't get to the point last night to determine if that would have a been a scrub situation (not enough Helium onboard)."

Helium leak was not a reason for the scrub but was fixed after the scrub.

#NASA says this Falcon 9 might be the first one NASA uses three times (with 2 reflights). Confirms it's the booster for CRS-18 and might be used again for CRS-19.
