Description: I just took some shots of Dragon, straining at the leash to ferry the four CREW-1 astronauts to the ISS, for a half-year stay, and then a return to Earth. Zooming in with the 800mm... The Draco thrusters on Dragon have silver protective covers before launch. Same for the finned-trunk with black panels covering the solar cells.
The SpaceX logo is on the Delta panel, the first to pop on reentry to start the parachute deployment sequence. I have come to love that panel
