Congrats to SpaceX. Great day. Another Dragon in orbit puts a smile on our face.

Jessica -

Beautiful launch. 7th launch in just 3 months. Weather nail biter, but anvil cloud stayed just far enough away that we were good.

Dragon prop system functioning properly on orbit.

Dragon has hundreds TO thousands of thruster firings to adjust altitude and attitude before it reaches Station. But just a few major burns to adjust altitude/trajectory to get to Station.
