Dan Hartman, ISS deputy program manager, said during a press conference at the space agency’s Wallops Flight Facility that the agency currently performs a review on the Falcon 9‘s use for the SpX-13 mission.

He noted SpaceX will also conduct a readiness review to determine whether or not they would refly the platform for the SpX-13 mission slated for launch in December.
