With 6x more propellant and 4x the power of today’s Dragon spacecraft, SpaceX was selected to design and develop the U.S. Deorbit Vehicle for a precise, controlled deorbit of the @Space_Station

Looks like there will be 30 draco engines on the back of that thing. Pretty Kerbal!

Will Falcon 9 be enough, or Falcon Heavy be required?

But later on the SpaceX person is asked about launch and just says something about the "Falcon product line", IIRC.
