A carefully choreographed series of thruster firings are scheduled to bring the spacecraft to rendezvous with the space station.

The unpressurized trunk of the spacecraft also will transport solar panels, tools for Earth-observation and equipment to study neutron stars. This will be the 100th launch, and sixth SpaceX launch, from this pad.
