NASA Announces Live Coverage of Crew‑13 Launch to the International Space Station

NASA will stream live coverage of the SpaceX Crew‑13 mission, scheduled to lift off at 11:10 a. m. EDT on Oct. 1 from Cape Canaveral’s Space Launch Complex 40. The four‑member crew—NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov—will travel aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule to the International Space Station for a long‑duration science mission. The 7‑hour, 50‑minute transit will be the fastest U. S. spacecraft to dock with the ISS, targeting the Harmony module’s forward port at 7 p. m. NASA’s coverage includes pre‑launch, launch, and docking streams on NASA+, YouTube, and social media, plus audio‑only updates and a virtual guest program for the public. Post‑launch, a news conference will discuss the mission’s status and the crew’s handover with Crew‑12.
