If we have a slip to the 12th what is the launch window? I know CRS launches are instantaneous, but usually there is a short window until they nail down an exact time.
Launch on the 12th means arrival on the 14th? Which is when MS-05 is leaving with Ryazansky, Bresnik, and Nespoli. Busy day on the ISS.

@cbs_spacenewsF9/CRS13: Falcon 9 hot-fire test complete at 3pm; appeared to run normal duration; no obvious issues; will stand by for an update from SpaceX
maybe i missed a post here, but i thought CRS-13 was suppose to return to LZ-1? and not to the drone ship in the Atlantic. please correct my understanding
What will we be able to see from Europe (weather permitting)? Even though Dragon deploy is done both Dragon and S2 should be orbiting close behind the ISS and be possible to see?CRS-13 launches 16:46:00Z and ISS will be visible here in Denmark 17:56:39Z - 17:58:47Z It is certainly dark enough at that time and the long-term weather forecast is sort of encouraging (-ish). I really want to watch the launch stream with the kids and then go outside and see the real thing in the sky soon after. j.
