NASA+, YouTube, and the agency’s website are continuing to provide live coverage of the agency’s SpaceX Crew-9 mission carrying NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov to the International Space Station.
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to dock about 5:30 p.m. EDT, Sunday, Sept. 29. Dragon is designed to dock autonomously, but the crew aboard the spacecraft and the space station will monitor the performance of the spacecraft as it approaches and docks to the forward port of the station’s Harmony module.
When the hatches open at about one hour and 45 minutes after docking, the Crew-9 astronauts will join the Expedition 72 crew of NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps, Don Petitt, Butch Wilmore, and Suni Williams, as well as Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexander Grebenkin, Alexey Ovchinin, and Ivan Vagner.
