After launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida earlier in the evening, NASA and JAXA astronauts are on their way to the International Space Station (ISS). After the Dragon spacecraft separated from the second stage and started to configure itself for flight and alignment with the ISS, the spacecraft's thermal control system started to show off-nominal readings, which would mark the start of minor problems for the next couple of hours.
