A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the CRS-21 Dragon spacecraft from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on 6 December 2020 at 16:17 UTC (11:17 EST). The CRS-21 spacecraft is the first Dragon expected to autonomously dock to the International Space Station, on 6 December 2020. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage landed on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, located in the Atlantic Ocean. The first stage booster (Block 5 B1058) previously supported launch of Dragon’s first flight with NASA astronauts to the International Space Station (Demo-2), the ANASIS-II mission, and a Starlink mission.
