SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov docked with the International Space Station at 7:05 p.m. EDT on Oct. 1, 2026, according to NASA’s mission update. NASA said the spacecraft attached to the Harmony module’s forward port.
NASA said the 7-hour, 55-minute launch-to-docking interval marked the fastest launch-to-docking of a U.S. spacecraft in the history of the International Space Station.
Earlier in the day, SpaceX said on X that Dragon was on track to dock at about 7 p.m. ET after launching from pad 40 in Florida.
Later that evening, NASA said Dragon’s hatch opened at 9:19 p.m. EDT, and the four Crew-13 members entered the station and joined Expedition 75. In a later post on X, the International Space Station account said their arrival brought the total number of residents aboard the station to 11.
NASA’s docking update said the crew would begin leak checks and pressurization ahead of hatch opening, and its later station-entry update confirmed the crew had entered the station and joined Expedition 75.
