The booster is a new Falcon 9 carrying a payload mass of 6 t.
The rocket will launch from Kennedy Space Center (LC-39A), Florida and the first stage will land on a drone ship downrange.
This booster landing is very important because NASA wants to reuse it for Crew 2.
Travel time to ISS will be 8:30 hours.

Small disturbances can lead to postponed launches. Making sure everything is just right is way cheaper than risking big fireworks.
