SpaceX is targeting launch of the Commercial Resupply Services 13 mission from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on Dec. 15, 2017.
Dragon will deliver about 4,800 pounds of cargo and material to support science investigations aboard the space station. After about one month attached to the space station, Dragon will return with results of earlier experiments, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California.
Update:
After a delay of the December 12th launch, this mission is now delayed until December 15th, possibly later.
The video will be available when the launch happens:

Taking additional time for the team to conduct full inspections and cleanings due to detection of particles in 2nd stage fuel system. Now targeting CRS-13 launch from SLC-40 on Dec. 15. Next launch opportunity would be no earlier than late December.
