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.
