At approximately 7 a.m. EDT, Dragon will dock autonomously to the forward port of the space station’s Harmony module. 

The spacecraft is carrying over 5,000 pounds of scientific investigations and cargo to the orbiting laboratory on SpaceX’s 33rd commercial resupply services mission for NASA. The mission launched at 2:45 a.m. on Aug. 24 atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. 

Research conducted aboard the space station advances future space exploration – including Artemis missions to the Moon and astronaut missions Mars – and provides multiple benefits to humanity.
