Crew-13 launches on what NASA says will be the fastest launch-to-docking for a United States spacecraft at the Space Station

1 October 2026

NASA's SpaceX Crew-13 mission lifted off on 1 October 2026 at 11:10 a.m. EDT from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
A Falcon 9 rocket carried the Dragon spacecraft, which NASA said would dock autonomously to the forward port of the Harmony module at about 7 p.m. EDT the same day.
That would make the flight about 7 hours and 50 minutes, which NASA said would be the fastest launch-to-docking by a United States spacecraft in the history of the International Space Station.
The crew are NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Joshua Kutryk of the Canadian Space Agency and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov.
They join the Expedition 75 crew aboard the station.
