SpaceX is targeting Friday, June 29 for an instantaneous launch of its fifteenth Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-15) at 5:42 a.m. EDT, or
9:42 UTC, from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Dragon will separate from Falcon 9’s second stage about nine minutes and thirty seconds after liftoff and attach to the space station on Monday, July 2. An instantaneous backup launch opportunity is available on Sunday, July 1 at 4:54 a.m. EDT, or
8:54 UTC.
Both Falcon 9 and the Dragon spacecraft for the CRS-15 mission are flight-proven. Falcon 9’s first stage previously supported the TESS mission in April 2018, and Dragon previously supported the CRS-9 mission in July 2016. SpaceX will not attempt to recover Falcon 9’s first stage after launch.

- Davide D'ippolito: PVP DRAGON block 4
- Bryce Courtney: Another rocket going into the ocean
- Gerg C: Emotions are no good. The announcer is clearly Vulcan.
- Kramyful2109: What the first stage after it launched and stuck the second stage in a sub orbit?
- Viz0r: Cypir It is possible to maintain propulsion even without lifting gas. The surrounding gases cam feed a nuclear fusion reactor that powers the thrusters to maintain a thrust to weight ratio greater than one. You can increase throttle to go higher in the atmosphere and decease throttle to go lower
- piranha031091: Aren't they going to use another block 4 for Dragon 2's in-flight abort test?
- RAPTOR FILM: Amazing launch space x 🚀💪🏽🤩🤤
- Cole Smith: SpaceX doesn’t use explosives for separation, but it could have been a bit of insulation between the two connected parts, or anything.
- Wolkify: SpaceX... my favourite motivational channel on YouTube... (even though I have one myself 😂)
- Daniel thunder: The king is dead, long live the king!
