Falcon 9
Intriguingly, Jensen also noted in a prelaunch briefing that SpaceX's Cargo Dragons are certified for as many as three orbital reuses - a possibility as SpaceX steps towards completing all 20 of its contracted CRS-1 missions, the final five of which are scheduled to resupply the ISS between now and early 2020.
Sadly, CRS-14's doubly flight-proven launch also marked yet another expended booster - B1039 happened to be the first Block 4 version of Falcon 9's stage to fly a mission.
As the spacecraft approaches the ISS, Japanese astronaut Norishige Kanai and NASA astronaut Scott Tingle will use the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to grapple the spacecraft and tug it to the Harmony module, NASA officials said in a statement.

SpaceX is launching a Falcon 9 rocket that will carry tons of scientific supplies to the International Space Station aboard a Dragon spacecraft. That cargo will be riding atop the rocket inside one of SpaceX's Dragon capsules - which flew to the ISS once before, too. "What's neat about this is that it's becoming the norm", Jensen said. The mission's Falcon 9 first-stage rocket was previously used on the CRS-12 mission in August 2017. As per the schedule, the Dragon cargo ship will fine-tune its access to the ISS on Tuesday. The satellite will help scientists in search of Earth-sized exoplanets. It's also a fantastic example of the unique expertise found in the UK's growing space sector and the value that it adds to worldwide projects. Also headed to orbit is a space harpoon to catch space junk with. This "Multi-use Variable-g Platform" has built-in carousels that can produce up to 2 Gs of artificial gravity, or two times the pull of Earth's gravity, according to NASA's description. The first Block 5 rocket is slated to launch in late April, sending up a communications satellite for Bangladesh. But there's more to SpaceX than meets the eye. The ultimate promise of these tests, if successful, is to allow SpaceX the option of recovering boosters during missions with heavier payloads and higher orbits.
