Falcon 9 launches have become common, but have you ever wondered what the process towards launch looks like for the worlds only reusable orbital rocket?
Thanks to NASASpaceflight SpaceCoast Live cameras we can track the process, in this case with B1067

ISS Reboost Abort: At ~17:39 UTC, a reboost using Dragon C211 was attempted. Per the nets, the expected burn time was 19.5 minutes.

Approximately 3.5 minutes in, the reboost was "stopped" due to "being on unexpected tanks".
The vehicle was in a safe state at cutoff.

Note: This burn has been planned since at least Monday - likely before.

ISS Reboost Abort: NASA has shared more details on yesterday's aborted reboost

TL;DR:
- 19 minutes, 22 seconds planned burn time.
- Burn was manually aborted 3m45s in by SpaceX flight controllers in Hawthorne, CA.
- The burn plan involved swapping tanks during the burn. This was not performed, and as such Dragon continued pulling propellant from the first tank, which prompted the manual abort
- Another attempt is expected today at 2:24 p.m. EDT.

Full statement:
"On Thursday, SpaceX’s Dragon was conducting a reboost of the International Space Station using the company’s CRS-33 Trunk Draco thrusters when the burn was manually aborted approximately 3 minutes, 45 seconds into the planned 19-minute, 22-second burn. All systems aboard the space station are operating as expected, and the Expedition 73 crew is conducting its normal complement of work.

Ground controllers at SpaceX, in close coordination with NASA’s Mission Control Center at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, commanded the abort when operators noticed a swap of the Draco thruster fuel tanks did not occur as planned. Teams stopped today’s burn to conserve propellant on the spacecraft.

Ground teams are reviewing plans for a follow-up reboost at 2:24 p.m. EDT on Friday, Sept. 26. Dragon previously conducted space station reboost on Sept. 3, which lasted the full duration."

ISS Reboost: Update from NASA. Nominal burn.

"The SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft fired its Draco thrusters, located in the vehicle’s trunk, for 15 minutes on Friday reboosting the International Space Station’s orbit for the third time this month. The reboost maneuvers lifted the orbital outpost’s altitude to prepare for Soyuz crew swap operations later this year."
