And Core B1035 is back yet again! Just five miles away from where it was launched! The success rate for first stage landings is now 20 out of 25, or 80%.

Second stage AFTS should be safed by now.

T+10 minutes. Spacecraft separation. Dragon C108 beginning its second trip to the International Space Station. It should take about two days before capture and berthing.

Newfoundland now tracking the flight of Dragon.

Deploying arrays.

Solar array deploy!

Absolutely beautiful, another routine delivery to space using pre-flown hardware! Who says 13 is unlucky?

Huge congratulations to everyone involved in this launch, it took a few delays but it's so good to have F9 back after two months of "downtime"!

Solar panel deployment in work. Dragon's propulsion system has also been primed.

After this is completed, a series of firings from the Draco thrusters will begin to bring Dragon closer to the station.
