SpaceX has launched CRS-23, a Cargo Dragon mission. It was the 23rd SpaceX resupply mission to the ISS and the 3rd flight of Cargo Dragon 2. For this mission, Falcon 9 Booster B1061, which previously flew on Crew-1, Crew-2, and SXM-8, was used. This booster was the first to use SpaceX's new droneship, A Shortfall of Gravitas. Launch was scheduled for the early morning of August 28, but the mission was scrubbed because of unacceptable weather in the final minutes of the count. Launch happened on August 29 at 3:14 AM EDT or 7:14 UTC. Docking happened at about 11am EDT or 15:00 UTC on August 29.
