T-15 minutes. This will be the second spaceflight for Core B1035, which last flew the SpaceX CRS-11 mission in June 2017. In contrast to previous refurbished boosters, this one still has soot from the previous landing.

In addition, this will be the second time that Dragon C108, the pressurized section of the spacecraft, will be headed to the space station. Its first flight was SpaceX CRS-6 in April 2015.
