NASA SpX-13 mission patch  

SpaceX CRS-13, also known as SpX-13, was a Commercial Resupply Service mission to the International Space Station launched on 15 December 2017.[1] The mission was contracted by NASA and is flown by SpaceX. It was the second mission to successfully reuse a Dragon capsule, previously flown on CRS-6.[8][9] The first stage of the Falcon 9 Full Thrust rocket was the previously flown, "flight-proven" core from CRS-11.[8][10] The first stage returned to land at Cape Canaveral's Landing Zone 1 after separation of the first and second stage.[11]
