SpaceX CRS-17, also known as SpX-17, was a Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS) to the International Space Station that was launched aboard a Falcon 9 rocket on 4 May 2019.

[6] In February 2016, it was announced that NASA had awarded a contract extension to SpaceX for five additional CRS missions (CRS-16 to CRS-20).

[7] In June 2016, a NASA Inspector General report had this mission manifested for October 2018,[8] but by January 2019 this had been pushed back to April 2019.

[9] Due to a Dragon 2 test anomaly on 20 April 2019, SpaceX needed to acquire a permit to allow landing on the drone ship, "Of Course I Still Love You".

The ship was stationed just 28 kilometres (17 mi) downrange "to ensure the integrity of the area and preserve valuable information".
