Full report
The SpaceX Crew-13 mission is targeted to lift off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 11:10 a.m. ET today. The crew — NASA astronaut and commander Jessica Watkins, NASA astronaut Luke Delaney, Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov and Kutryk — arrived in Florida on September 26 after a quarantine period that began September 17.
The launch was delayed by several weeks from September because of a thruster issue with the Crew Dragon capsule. Federal Industry Minister Mélanie Joly is attending the launch at Kennedy Space Center. The CSA is hosting live launch coverage with expert commentary at its John H. Chapman Space Centre in Longueuil starting at 10:30 a.m. ET, also livestreamed on the agency's YouTube channel.
Docking with the International Space Station is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET today, followed by hatch opening at 8:45 p.m. and remarks from the crew.
