Description:

• These photos show the Falcon 9 and Cargo Dragon emerging from SpaceX′s hangar at pad 39A and rolling up the ramp to the pad deck. The launcher rode a transporter-erector for the quarter-mile trip to pad 39A, where hydraulics lifted the Falcon 9 vertical for final cargo loading and launch preparations.
• The Falcon 9 booster on this mission is making its fourth flight into space, while the Cargo Dragon vehicle is brand new. The upgraded Dragon cargo capsules can be reused up to five times, according to SpaceX.
