Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon arrive at pad 39A for launch:

SpaceX rolled the first Crew Dragon spacecraft out to a Florida launch pad on March 1, 2019 for final preparations ahead of a test flight to the International Space Station.

The commercial crew capsule will ride a 215-foot-tall (65-meter) Falcon 9 rocket into orbit from NASA′s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, heading for a docking with the space station.

Rollout began before 10 a.m. EST (1500 GMT), when the Falcon 9 emerged on its strongback carrier from SpaceX′s hangar for the quarter-mile journey up the ramp to pad 39A. Around 6 p.m. EST (2300 GMT), hydraulics hoisted the rocket vertical.
