Crew-7 | Approach and Docking

On Saturday, August 26 at 3:27 a.m. ET (07:27 UTC), Falcon 9 launched Dragon’s seventh operational human spaceflight mission (Crew-7) to the International Space Station from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage landed on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Dragon will autonomously dock with the space station on Sunday, August 27, approximately 29 hours after liftoff.

During their time on the orbiting laboratory, the crew will conduct science and technology demonstrations to prepare for human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit and to benefit humanity on Earth, in addition to space station maintenance activities.

The webcast will resume approximately two hours prior to docking.
