Dragon Docks Bringing SpaceX Crew-13 to Station

NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov arrived at the International Space Station at 7:05 p.m. EDT, docking to the Harmony module’s forward port. 

At 7-hours and 55-minutes, this marked the fastest launch‑to‑docking of a U.S. spacecraft in the history of the International Space Station.

The crew now will begin standard leak checks and pressurization ahead of hatch opening, planned for about 8:45 p.m.

https://www.nasa.gov/live

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to dock at approximately 7 p.m. EDT. Dragon is designed to dock autonomously, and the crew aboard the spacecraft and the space station will monitor its approach to the forward port of the orbiting laboratory’s Harmony module.

When the hatches open about one hour and 45 minutes after docking, NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov will join the Expedition 75 crew for a long-duration science mission aboard the orbiting laboratory.

Crew-13 launched earlier today at 11:10 a.m. from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 Reaches Orbit, News Conference at 1:10 p.m. EDT

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov to the International Space Station has safely reached orbit, separated from the Falcon 9’s second stage, and the spacecraft’s nosecone has opened.

A postlaunch news conference will be held at approximately 1:10 p.m. EDT at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, with the following participants:

• NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman
• Dr. Lori Glaze, associate administrator, Human Spaceflight Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters
• Dana Weigel, manager, Low Earth Orbit Program, NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston
• Mathieu Caron, director, Astronauts, Life Sciences, and Space Medicine, CSA
• Julianna Scheiman, director, NASA Science and Dragon Programs, SpaceX

NASA will stream the postlaunch news conference on the agency’s YouTube channel.

Crew-13 will spend just under 8 hours in orbit phasing on its way to the space station, with docking to the space-facing port of the station’s Harmony module targeted for 7 p.m., making this the fastest launch-to-docking in the history of the International Space Station.
